I am taking an introductory to java class and have had trouble compiling
in 5.0. Basically, the scanner class is not recognized and it says that my
Mac OS X Default is Java 1.4.2. I did download from Apple's website the
J2SE 5.0 but am not able to compile still. I am not sure if this was the
incorrect thing to download, I am very new to the java environment. Does
anyone know how I can compile in 5.0?

Did you download and install the JRE or the SDK? YOu need an SDK
installed in order to compile java progs.

Technically, a 5.0 JRE is all you need to compile Java 5.0 programs in
Eclipse, since Eclipse provides its own Java 5.0 compiler.

At the time this thread was started, 1.4 was the default even if you had 1.5
installed. With the latest version of the JRE 1.5 is default.
