Description Moritz Eysholdt CLA 2010-06-08 09:38:17 EDT 
/org.eclipse.jdt.compiler.tool/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF says:
Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment: JavaSE-1.6

I have to use Java 1.5 since Java 1.6 is not available for OS X Leopard. 

Due to this dependency, this bundle can not be loaded. A quick look at the code didn't reveal any hints that this might be intentional. So -- is it?
Comment 1 Olivier Thomann CLA 2010-06-08 10:01:05 EDT 
Yes, this is intentional. This fragment defines a support for the jsr199 api which is available only in 1.6.
So 1.6 is required for this fragment. Same reason for compiler.apt fragment.
Closing as INVALID.
