Is it possible to get Java 1.5/5.0 for Eclipse right now? I know it's under
development (as is Sun's JDK), but if it's stable enough, I'd like to use
it ASAP. The only things I'd use from Java 5 for now are generics, auto-
boxing, the new for loop, and maybe printf - basically, none of the
advanced/non-language-sugarcoating features. If it supports these, how do I
get it? All I've been able to find on this is
http://www.vasanthdharmaraj.com/PermaLink,guid,be41926c-4d38 -4c16-a273-
6f586c00de11.aspx, but I'm afraid to follow this as it's outdated and
provides me with no info on how well the JDT would suit my needs in its
current state. Thanks in advance.

The plan for the Eclipse support is available here:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/jdt- core-home/r3.1/main.html#release-plan
or
Download the latest 3.1 release (M2 is coming out at the end of this week)
and try it :-). The cheetah support mentioned on the blog has been rolled in
to the main 3.1 stream and is being worked on there.

OK, I was not clear enough. All the 1.5 constructs can be parsed (in 3.1 M1
and M2) but parsing is only part of the work. The real work (resolution,
flow analysis, code gen, etc ) to support enumeration, autoboxing, static
imports, metadata work has not yet started.

Make sure you've set up an 1.5 JRE to compile against. Furthermore, the type
Vector<int> is not valid - primitive types cannot be used as generic type
parameters.
