JDK 7 support in eclipse 3.7 available? [message #667702] Sun, 01 May 2011 10:28 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi,

is eclipse 3.7 supposed to support JDK 1.7 or not?

I am confused because I can set in the Project the JDK Compliance level
to 1.7 making me think it is supported, but on the other hand when I
click on the checkbox next to "Use compliance from execution environment
'JavaSE-1.7' on the Java Build Path" it says "The 1.7 compiler
compliance level is not yet supported.

BTW the reason I am asking is that I tried to use a switch with a string
argument and even when compiler compliance is set to 1.7 it is marked as
an error and I wonder if I shall file a bug report or not.

Which build did you use ? Setting compiler compliance level to 1.7
should be disabled in M7 build
( http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.7M7- 201104280848/index.php)

Ah now I see, it is and it is not. This is the exact build I am using.
But instead of looking at

Preferences->Java->Compiler

where 1.7 is not listed as choice as you say I looked at

Project Properties->Java Compiler

where you can select 1.7.

And also

Preferences->Java->Installed JREs->Execution Environment

lists JavaSE-1.7 as one of its choices.

No, you cannot set 1.7 as the compliance level even in project specific
settings. (I just verified this)

Yes this is possible. Execution environment is different from compiler
compliance level - you should be able to run your 1.6 code with a 1.7
JDK without any issues.

I see it now. I still have 1.7 visible because I operate on a project
for which I had set 1.7 in an earlier version of eclipse. When I create
a new project the highest I can set is indeed 1.6.

Also once I change my old project to 1.6 and apply the change, changing
back to 1.7 is not possible anymore. So I saw it only because my project
still was set to 1.7.
