I have installed Eclipse 3.4 to use in a classroom setting.
When I go to
Window / Preferences / Java / Compiler
I do not have a "compiler compliance level" for Java 5.0 or 6.0

In the older Eclipse 3.2, I had levels 1.3, 1.4, 5.0, 6.0

Did I miss something?
Can anyone help me get to the higher levels of Java, because
I need them for teaching my classes.

Thank You

It sounds as if Eclipse is running in a 1.4 JVM and therefore doesn't
have 1.5/1.6 features available. Are you specifying the JVM to run
Eclipse in, either on the command line or in eclipse.ini? See
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini

Hope this helps,
Eric

The VM you're using to launch Eclipse has no effect on that, except for
plug-ins like APT that had to be built using features from newer versions.

It's now called '1.5' and '1.6'.

Thank you.
Looks like it works OK.
The "renaming" confused me.
