The following code compiles fine on command line. However, eclipse gives
an error saying : The method Printf( String, Object[] ) in the PrintStream
is not applicable for the arguments ( String, String ).
Can anybody tell me what am I missing with eclipse?

public class TestA {

public static void main(String[] args) {

String a = "Testing";
System.out.printf("%s\n", a);
}
}

Hi,

Look under Preferences->Java->Installed JREs
and ensure that you are compiling with a jre that supports printf

I have only Java 6 installed and that is the only jre seen from eclipse.
It is the same jre that I can compile and run command line with. But,
eclipse is giving trouble. Again, I have only java 6 installed.

It compiles and runs fine for me (Eclipse 3.2.1, Java 6, Win XP). Did
you try cleaning the project (Project -> Clean...)?

I found the answer. The eclipse "Compiler Compliance" by default is set to
1.4. I had to change it to 6.
