Vector (with jre1.6.0?) [message #193652]

I had a program that contained the line:

Vector<String> v = new Vector<String>(10);

that used to run OK. Now, however, Vector is redlined with the comment:

The type Vector is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with
arguments <String>

and <String> is relined with the comment:

Syntax Error, parameterized types are only available if source level is 5.0

What is wrong? I have upgraded to jre1.6.0. Is this version handles
differently vectors? How can I correct the problem?

Please check project properties -> Java Compiler Settings,
you should have set there Source Compatibility 5.0 or 6.0

Please let me know if it helps.

Changing to jre 1.6.0 should not cause a problem. Check the import
statement to make sure you are importing java.util.Vector. There are
Vector classes in other packages (can't recall which) that are not generic.

Thanks. It worked. But I don't understand why the default source
compatibility is not set at 6.0 in the first place. Perhaps to make
source compatible with earlier versions so, for example, an applet can
work in an older browser?

No, I was importing java.util.*, according to the book I am working
with. That was not the issue.
