--with-java-target-version does not work properly in hsqldb

[Noel Grandin]

Hi

Do this:

#ifdef JAVA6
     public void createStruct(java.lang.String,java.lang.Object[]) {
        ....real implementation....
     }
#else
    // only here for the odd situation that we are compiling 
--with-java-target-version=1.5 but the actual JDK we are using is > 1.5
     public void createStruct(java.lang.String,java.lang.Object[]) {
       throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
     }
#endif
