My new company uses NetBeans with JDK 1.5 but I would prefer to use
Eclipse with the MyEclipse plug-in. There are "1.5" for-each loops and
generics that I can't get to compile with Eclipse. I'm using Eclipse
Version 3.1.1, have my Java compiler compliance level set to 5.0 and
default installed JRE pointing to JRE 1.5.0_02. When I compile I get
things such as:
[javac] C:\eclipse\antprj\src\antxch\EmailExportSuccessful.java:90:
generics are not supported in -source 1.4
[javac] (try -source 1.5 to enable generics)
[javac] Iterator<String> filenames =
Ant.getFileNameIterator(exportlist);

Did I forget to do something in eclipse? There seemed to be a lot of
posts about 1.5 support but most said Eclipse 3.1 should work.

Thanks for your help.
Jennifer

Something is not clear: your messages indicate usage of javac (looks
like from an Ant build), but Eclipse does not use javac.
Please describe your usage scenario that results in these warnings.

They look like ant logs ... does your build.xml have a source="1.5"
anywhere in it?

Sorry, I should have explained that I set up eclipse to use my build.xml
file to do the build. I guess I need to change the source="1.5" in the
build.xml file? Thanks.
