Wrong settings?

[RonM]

Hello all,

I have to make changes on an exsisting java project.
All I know its that it was developt using eclips and java version 5.
After import and recompiling I have hunderts of errors messages.
Exemples:
1. In the Line "private List<SpmlObject> mySpmls;" i get the message "Syntax error on token "<", "Identifier" expected"
2. On override "@Override
public String toString() {" I get the message "Syntax error on token "Invalid Character"..." on the "@".
What I'm doing wrong? Wrong settings?

Thanks

Ron

This means that you are trying to compile your code either with pre-Java5 JDK (1.4 or older) or you passed "-source 1.4" option to the compiler.

Eclipse has also a setting in preference where you can set the default JRE version to compile against.

See Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Compiler -> Compiler compliance level

Tanks for help, I have found the problem.
I used an old version of eclipse max compiler compliance level = 1.4!
Now I updated my eclipse version and every thing is working fine.

Thanks

Ron
