My environment:
JDK 1.5.0_04
eclipse-SDK-3.1RC4-win32.zip
Windows XP

I have a Java class with the following method signature:

protected Bar createBar(List<Foo> fooData)

The Eclipse compiler flags the method as a compile error.

The error message is:

"The type List is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments
<Foo>"

I checked my Workspace preferences and the Compiler's JDK Compliance
level is 5.0

Are you sure that in your setting "List" resolves to "java.util.List" ?

I found the root cause. The Java Build path for my project was wrong.

The Build path contained a reference to the J2SE 1.4.2 libraries.
