Re: [equinox-dev] Compilation error in Java 7

[BJ Hargrave <hargrave@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This probably has to do with compiling
against classfiles built with the undocumented javac option "-targer
jsr14". Such class files work fine with javac 1.6 which recognized
the generics information. However javac 1.7 does not and sees the classes
only a "raw" view. You either need to keep using javac 1.6 or
get updated jar files which are not compiled with "-target jsr14".

Hi Devs,

I have a code segment as follows.

IQuery<IInstallableUnit> it = null;

Following is my dependency

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.eclipse.equinox</groupId>
            <artifactId>org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata</artifactId>
            <version>2.1.0.v20110510</version>
        </dependency>

when I try to compile in Java 6 it works perfectly. But
when I tried to compile with java 7 it gives me the following error.

java: type org.eclipse.equinox.p2.query.IQuery does not take parameters

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? Do we need a later version in order
to work with Java 7?

Regards,
Aruna_______________________________________________
