screenshot showing compiler compliance setting in project and global preferences
Jay, please investigate. Horn, could you please check with 3.7RC5? Thanks. I tried with 3.7 RC4 and this is what I found. I set the global compliance level to 1.6, came back to the project with 1.5 code (generics) and set the compliance to 1.4. Obviously the code with 1.5 code shows errors. When I disabled the project specific settings, it still shows the compliance drop-down as 1.4, albeit deactivated. But this is only temporary and not a problem at all as the moment I click 'OK' or 'Apply' the code is recompiled and the errors go away. If I close the preference dialog and open again, it properly picks the values from the global settings. So, I don't think this is a bug. Please confirm. Found the same behavior on previous builds as well. This bug still happens in indigo. What Mr. Arthanareeswaran tested is not what I reported. I clearly stated that this happens at eclipse startup. No project properties had been edited at this point. I can manually override the defaults and the error will go away by checking the project setting checkbox and choosing 1.5 compliance. I can even uncheck this checkbox and the compliance level stays at 1.5 but as soon as I restart eclipse and try to build the project the error will reappear. Even if it were what I reported this would be still a bug albeit only a cosmetical one. This dialog should show one of 2 states: with the checkbox off it should show global settings with the checkbox on it show the current project settings I don't see the reported behavior with 3.7. Moving to JDT/UI for confirmation and investigation if it's still an issue. Created attachment 199506 [details]

prefs file that triggers the problem
I copied the attached prefs file from my problem workspace to a new test workspace(also attached) in order to reproduce the problem.
My problem workspace has been migrated from Eclipse 3.6 to Eclipse 3.7.
Thanks for the workspace. I still can't reproduce the problem, though. Can you please tell me what JRE you have on your environment and what is your default JRE or execution environment? I using the jre that comes with Websphere v6.1 in Rational Application Developer 7.0.0.10. The version string is the following: java version "1.5.0" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build pwi32devifx-20110211a (S R12 FP3 +IZ94331)) IBM J9 VM (build 2.3, J2RE 1.5.0 IBM J9 2.3 Windows XP x86-32 j9vmwi3223ifx-2010 1130 (JIT enabled) J9VM - 20101129_69669_lHdSMr JIT - 20100623_16197ifx1_r8 GC - 20100211_AA) JCL - 20110208 I am using Oracle JDK 1.6.0_25 to start Eclipse. Do you have all the plugins esp the WTP installed? *** Bug 362544 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie. |
