Java5 and Eclipse. any Plugins? [message #38121]

Hi

I tried using Java5 to develop my app. I tried to constraint a collection
with the Integer type objects only by putting a

List<Integer> = ...

in the code. Instead of recognizing it as a Java5 Generics token, the editor
reported the angle bracket '<' as an unrecognized token!

Contrarily, I was hoping a ballloon to pop up as a code assist, like the one
that pops up and lists all available methods when you press a dot after an
object.

How can I get the editor to recognize these Generics tokens? Any updated
plugins for Java5 I need to install?

You need to be using Eclipse 3.1. Java 5 support wasn't in for 3.0.

.... and _explicitly_ enable it:
- Window | Preferences | Java | Compiler for IDE-wide
- Project properties, Java Compiler for selected project.

I do have Eclipse 3.1. I dont see any editor support for Java 5 tokens like
Generics. Can someone layout the steps?

Thanks.
