Description thedog 2005-05-18 20:27:10 UTC 
Trying to use a generic from jdk 1.5, e.g. Comparator<String>
results in "try using -source 1.5".

The source compiles just fine using javac directly, with no "source" option.
Configuration shows I'm using JDK 1.5, AND -source 1.5 already!

Code display (editor) shows a problem with the source line,
again suggesting "-source 1.5".

java version "1.5.0_02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_02-b09)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.5.0_02-b09, mixed mode)

Reassigning for evaluation.
Comment 2 Jan Becicka 2005-08-25 09:22:27 UTC 
Go to Project Properties of your project, select Sources Node and set Source
Level to 1.5.
I hope it helps.
