It has been a couple of months since I last used Eclipse and I am on a
sharp learning curve. I am trying to fix a bug that has appeared in
one of my dynamic web applications. But I can't even get off first
base.
When I import my project back into Eclipse, I get the following error
shown in the project
"Java compiler level does not match the version of the installed Java
project facet."
My Java compiler level is set at 5.0 because I need the facilities at
this level. The java project facet says it is version 1.4
But - I don't even understand what a project facet is and where it comes
from, nor how to change the version from anything other than 1.4. If I
try to deselect this facet a dialog box pops up and says I can't.
I know in the past this application built under Eclipse just fine. But
since that time I have removed Eclipse, and later re-installed it from
a fresh download. I think "project facets" as a property of a project
has appeared during this down period, but I could not be certain of
that. I just don't remember them from before.
Can someone please explain what a project facet is, and how to set it up
so that I can use the correct java version.
TIA

Doh - that was simple. I guess my brain was riddled last night/this
morning when I tried to fix it. Too many late nights/early mornings
this week!
Thanks
