G'day mates! I'm using Eclipse sdk 3.3rc4. I'd like our team to install
JDK 6.0 but have the code comply to 5.0 for now. I set the workspace
compiler compliance to 5.0 but it allowed me to use javax.swing.SwingWorker,
which is new in JDK6.0. Is there a way to enforce the 5.0 API? Flagging
this as a compile error would be great.

You need to put libraries from a 5.0 JDK on the classpath. You can still
run on top of a JDK 6.0.

You need to specify that a Java 5 JDK/JRE be used, either at the
workspace level or on a per-project basis. Set up the Java 5 JRE under
Preferences > Java > Installed JREs, then you can select it in the
project properties (and check in the .classpath file to your source
control system).

Hope this helps,
Eric
