In 1.5, the following code should compile:

interface I {
   int foo();
}
interface J {
   String foo();
}
 
public class X implements I {
   public int foo() {
 	return 0;
   }
   public static void main(String[] args) {
         I i = new X();
        J j = (J) i;
        System.out.println(j);
  }
}

It will throw a ClassCastException at runtime.

In 1.4, the code would have failed at compile time.
