Is current (master HEAD) Graphiti targeting 1.5 or 1.6 Java?

I spent some time today dealing with some troubles when the Graphiti plugins (compiled in Eclipse) worked ok while running my RCP product from inside EClipse, but when exported and packaged as product it failed on running (class loading) with the message:

Caused by: java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem: 
 The method isStayActiveAfterExecution(IConnectionCreationToolEntry) of type DefaultToolBehaviorProvider must override a superclass method
	at org.eclipse.graphiti.tb.DefaultToolBehaviorProvider.isStayActiveAfterExecution(DefaultToolBehaviorProvider.java:588)

Puzzling. Then I saw that, while in the Project settings my Graphiti plugins dictate Java 1.6 compliance, on the other side the file

plugins/org.eclipse.graphiti/build.properties

(and same for other graphiti projects) says:

jre.compilation.profile = J2SE-1.5

When I manually force my project settings to 1.5 I have several errors (3 in org.eclipse.graphiti + org.eclipse.graphiti.ui) of the same type, refering to unexpected @Override annotations (implementation of interface methods)

DefaultReconnectionFeature.canStartReconnect(IReconnectionContext) 
DefaultToolBehaviorProvider.isStayActiveAfterExecution(IConnectionCreationToolEntry)
DefaultPersistencyBehavior.SaveOperation

I'm not at all sure how all these settings interact, but it seems that some clarification is needed here.
Apart from the particular fix here (either get rid of those @Override, or set 1.6 as target ) it would be nice to force compatibility between the project JRE version and the jre.compilation.profile = J2SE-1.5 (I'm not sure if Eclipse can reconcile that).

I forgot to add that I verified that, indeed, the compiled classes that ended in the graphiti jars inside the product, as packaged by Eclipse, the "major version number" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_class_file#General_layout) corresponded to Java 1.5.
I removed the "jre.compilation.profile = J2SE-1.5" line, recompiled/repackaged everything, and all went nice.

Thanks for pointing out, this is a remains that should have been removed in
the cause of Bug 418333. Graphiti needs Java 6 since Luna M2.

I have filed https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=435515 to fix
that.

Thanks,
Michael

BTW:

The current .classpath file in the plugins has an entry

	<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/JavaSE-1.6"/>

This looks... strange, and it gave me some problems with my Eclipse. I changed it to

<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/>

and all went smoothly. But I'm not sure what that means.
