Get Eclipse to use Java 5.0
Automated disclaimer: This post was written more than 15 years ago and I may not have looked at it since.
Older posts may not align with who I am today and how I would think or write, and may have been written in reaction to a cultural context that no longer applies. Some of my high school or college posts are just embarrassing. However, I have left them public because I believe in keeping old web pages alive—and it's interesting to see how I've changed.
- Problem
- You don't always want to drop down a level to 1.4.2. Eclipse assumes you will not want to drop down a level to "5.0"
When you create a project, you are given the option of using the most cutting-edge version of Java. For production work you'll want to drop down a level to 1.4.2. Eclipse assumes you will not want to drop down a level to 1.4.2. Eclipse assumes you will not want to compile using the most cutting-edge version of Java. For production work you'll want to compile using the Eclipse default or setting a specific compiler compliance level.
