Update Java compiler settings [message #1001902]

Hi,

as we are working at the NatTable and trying to refactor some stuff, we realized that we still compile against Java 1.5 compliance level.

We would like to update that to Java 1.6 because of several facts. One is for example, that with 1.5 you can not annotate methods with @Override that are only specified in an interface.

As Java 1.7 is still not active in every company, we would not like to update to that directly. But we believe that Java 1.6 should be used everywhere, where NatTable comes to play.

As we can not be sure, we like to ask our users what they think about this. So please post to this topic if you need us to still compile against 1.5. Otherwise we will soon update our project settings.

Greez,
Dirk
