compilation issue

[orchid]

Ok, one problem solved, now another one. I downloaded an application and it is giving me errors in one .java file. It is a case of autoboxing...where they are adding an Integer and an int. I know this can be done in 1.5 and that is all I have installed on my workstation. I am confused. Why is it giving me a red x ?

Do this, click on Window--Preferences and then under java
click Compiler and see what it is set to.
The line that says Comp;ier compliance level should read 5.0 since that is what you say you have installed. It can and probably will default back to a lower level of java when it is installed, even if you do not have that version running on your workstation. Hope this helps.

That did it. I never knew about that setting. Thanks.
