Java-Version of WAR product [message #929099]

Hi everyone!

I've got a problem concerning the creation of a WAR. I created it using a warproduct-file, but when I deploy it, I get the following message:

java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem: 
	'<>' operator is not allowed for source level below 1.7

I took a look at the class-file with the error, and instead of compiled code it just contains the stack trace of above exception. Then I checked the plug-in in question: Both the build path and the manifest state it's a Java 7 project.

So my question is: Why would the WAR product export wizard assume the project to be anything other than a Java 7 project? How do I change it? And is there a way to tell the export wizard to just show an error message and stop exporting when a error like this happens, instead of ignoring it?

Thanks in advance,

S. Schulz

Hi,
check your project properties - "Java Compiler" settings. What are your
"JDK Compliance" settings?
Best,
Ivan

"Use compliance from execution environment on the 'Java Build Path'", so it's Java 7, too.

One more thing to check: In the Package Explorer, your project has an
entry named "JRE System Library". Does this entry also show "JavaSE-1.7"?

When you export your project from the IDE (File > Export > Deployable
plug-ins and fragments), does this use the correct compiler level? I'm
not even sure if PDE/build supports Java 1.7, see [1].

Yes, it does.

No, it doesn't either.

You're kidding, right? How could Eclipse itself not support the entire build process for its very own framework?

(And I read the link, but don't know what you think is relevant to the problem.)

I verified that PDE and the WAR Product Tooling are able to build plugins using Java 7 source.

I think you are probably missing the OSGi Execution Environment. Open the plugin's manifest editor and verify that JavaSE-1.7 is listed under Execution Environments like this:
index.php/fa/11760/0/

With JavaSE-1.7 listed there it was able to build properly, but when I removed it the build failed with the same error you described.

Hope that helps,

Cole

No, as I said above the manifest contains the right Java version. It's funny, even the MANIFEST.MF inside the plug-ins inside the WAR still says "JavaSE-1.7", but the classes using actual Java 7 code are not compiled correctly.

Then it's not a WAR products but a PDE issue. Maybe you should ask for
help in the PDE forum.
