I know that Eclipse is currently being built and tested with J2SE 1.4.x.
I was wondering if anyone out there is using 5.0 to test with. I have
been using Eclipse 3.1M2 with J2SE 5.0 for about a month now, and have
not run into any problems. Just curious about anyone elses experiences.

thanks,

Barry

I've been using it with j2se5 since beta 2 in the summer. I have several
problems but I'm not certain that they are related:
Features don't build properly. If compiler compliance is set to 1.4 on all
settings, i get '1.4' target mode requires '-1.4' compliance mode: 1.3 and
the jar for each plugin contains only the xml. Other modes (1.3) work but a
feature.jar is never created so i can't use the update site. V annoying....

Using 3.1M3, I can compile plugins to 1.5 but eclipse doesn't seem to know
how to run them...they simply won't load.

Any ideas?

Chris

class files generated with 1.5 are not backwards compatible. If you
compile them with eclipse's 1.5, then you must be running eclipse with a
1.5 JRE. also 3.1m3 is not yet 100% compatible with the sun 1.5JRE.

This is not completely true. By default javac 1.5 compiles the code with
-target 1.5. This means that the resulting .class file won't run on a
1.4 VM, but if you are not using 1.5 constructs, then you can compile
with a JDK 1.5 using a lower target value like -target 1.4 and the
resulting .class files will run on a 1.4 VM.

I've been running with Java 5.0 since back when the first beta appeared.
Well, except for when I've been testing VM-specific bugs/features in
Eclipse. I haven't encountered any notable problems.



cheers,
