Does 3.8.4 now support the new syntaxes such as generics and enhanced for loops in Java 1.5? I don’t see it in the release notes but thought I’d ask just to be sure.

Thanks,

Karl,
Do you mean in the JSP Editor for scriplets? It will allow the new generic notations, but won’t offer generics-aware autocomplete, so “yes and no”. We have users using JDK 5.0 features in their JSPs and they compile/deploy/debug correctly. Just no autocomplete yet.

I mean just in my regular Java classes. Last time I tried the IDE wouldn’t compile my classes I assume because it didn’t recognize the generic I was trying to use and flagged it as a snytax error. Maybe I didn’t have Eclipse set up right to use the 1.5 jdk.

Karl,
What you are asking is handled by the base Eclipse SDK install (MyEclipse doesn’t influence this). But you do need to be using a version Eclipse 3.1 (currently Milestone 4 as of this writing) to get JDK 5.0 support.

ok. Thanks.
