Hello,

I am looking for a way to tell MyEclipse to compile some of my source in java 1.4 and some in java 1.5.

We are writing code in java 1.5 but we include generated code in 1.4. I can compile everything in 1.5, it works perfectly, but I am annoyed by the numerous warnings about not using generic types and other things.

I have been looking in the obvious places (Java Build Path > Source, Java Compiler, or Properties in the Package Explorer where the text encoding can be given), but I didn’t find any option to set the java version. Is there a way to do what I want? I know I can filter the error messages, but it is cumbersome and linked to the IDE, not the project.

Any help is appreciated.

Florian,
You want to compile a part of the source code of your project using Java 1.4 and the rest of the project using 1.5 ?

I’m sorry thats new possible. You need to choose either 1.4 or 1.5.

[Florian Fischer]

Yes. And I suspected it would not be possible. I just hoped for an obscure setting somewhere.

I just hoped for an obscure setting somewhere.

I’m afraid there is no setting that can help you achieve this.

[Ton Huisman]

You could create separate projects and directories, and connect both using project dependencies. If you use the same package names, that should be just fine.
Project specific settings should then supply you the option of Java 1.4 for the generated stuff, and Java 5.0 for the normal production code.
