Hi,

I am novice in e4 source code developement. I have downloaded the e4 code project from cvs repository. Now I am trying to create my project workspace for e4.

I am getting thousands of error and most of them are strange one:
e.g. The type List is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments <IXWTInitializer>
The type Map is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments <String, Object>

can some one help me on this. Am I doing it correctly.

It would be great if some one can guide me in project workspace creation for e4 project or direct me to the rite pointer.

Help is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Which JVM are you using to run eclipse? it should be 1.5 or greater.
What JREs are listed under Preferences>Java>Installed JREs? They should
also include a 1.5 (and prefereably 1.6 ) JVMs

The errors you are getting are because when eclipse is trying to compile
those projects, it is using a 1.4 set of JRE libraries instead of 1.5.

If you expand one of the projects with errors, what does it list as "JRE
System Library" ?

JRE System Library is also jdk1.6.0_21

I tried to change the compiler compliance level to 1.5 from 1.6 in eclipse, but I am still seeing those errors after the clean build.

Which projects did you check out? Did you use our .psf?

I think you are *NOT* able to compile the current CVS with Eclipse 3.6.1
because we e.g. already switched to the generified OSGi-API, ... .

The best way to develop for e4 is to use one of our m-builds (at least
as you target platform!).
