Nope. Eclipse 3.2 supports Java 6.0. You have to either set the
workspace preferences Java > Compiler to Java 6.0 (to set the workspace
default) or you can set the same preference on individual projects.
It all runs well on Java 6.0. I've been running it for months.
HTH,

Slight amendment: Eclipse 3.2 supports the Java 6 language, but not all the
features of Java 6. For instance, Java 6 (JSR-269) annotation processors
will not run on Eclipse 3.2.
Eclipse 3.3 will add the missing pieces.

What is "Java 6 (JSR-269) annotation processors"?
Thanks to all;

In Java 5, Sun introduced the concept of "annotation processing" - a way for
third-party code to run at compile time and be able to inspect annotations
on the source code and generate additional Java classes that would then get
compiled along with the original source code. Among other things, it's a
way of formalizing things like EJB generation that had been done with tools
based on javadoc. There are many advantages, such as type-safety (to
javadock, everything is a string).
However, in Java 5, the interface that these "annotation processors" had to
talk to was a Sun proprietary interface, com.sun.mirror.apt.*. In Java 6,
the interface has been standardized (it's in javax.annotation.processing and
javax.lang.model), .
Eclipse 3.2 supported Sun-style Java 5 annotation processors: that is, it is
possible to write annotation processors and it is possible to add them to
the Java build. Eclipse 3.3 will support the new Java 6 standard, along
with the old non-standard interface.
You can read a bit more about them, if you choose to, at
http://www.eclipse.org/jdt/apt/introToAPT.html. Note that still does not
mention Java 6.
