JDK 1.5 plugin is now obsolete, use Eclipse 3.1M4

[genady]

The new milestone that will be released this weekend will have
a good support of all 1.5 features.

This might be a *little* premature.
I can't get 3.1M4 to accept static imports of static methods (have raised a bug report). eg. static import java.lang.Math.max;

Also, if you are like me you probably use a bunch of plugins that won't be compatible with 3.1 just yet. So for me, this plugin is not yet obsolete.

Thanks,
Glenn.

The plugin will be available for download until Eclipse 3.1 is released.

Since the plugin is not designed to be used in main-stream development, I would suggest everybody who want to "live on the edge" (using this plugin) to upgrade to M4. Most plugins that were developed for Eclipse 3.0 are compatible with 3.1 (this is one of the goals of the new release).

I'm really confuse right now, I spent a lot of time trying to integrate JDK 1.5 because others people use already some features of this JDK in their development. (They also work with another IDE)

But, with eclipse it doesn't seem to be easy. I have dowloaded version 3.1M4 from eclipse, and I have also JDK 1.5 installed.

In eclipse, Windows->preference->Java->Compiler, I use default compliance setting and I see for "Compiler Compliance level" 5.0. Also, I see in Windows->preference->Java->Installed JREs, only JRE 1.5.0. So everything seems supported the right version of JDK.

However, when I try to build my application with ant file, I receive a lot of errors that I'm not suppose to have with JDK 1.5. What I suppose to do? I need an answer rapidly, please help me!!!

Hi,

If you use Eclipse M4, please uninstall the JDK-1.5 plug-in.
That is, exit eclipse, and delete the
net.genady.jdk15_1.1.* directory from "eclipse\plugins".

Then you should follow the regular Eclipse usage guides.

The best place to ask questions about Eclipse itself would be the newsgroups:
