[JIRA] (JENKINS-14579) Cannot compile Jenkins source with generated Eclipse project because it's configured to be Java 5 compliant

Mikhail Kalkov created JENKINS-14579 Cannot compile Jenkins source with generated Eclipse project because it's configured to be Java 5 compliant Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: current Assignee: Unassigned Attachments: Overriding-a-method-from-interface.png Components: core, maven Created: 26/Jul/12 8:43 AM Description: I've followed instructions at [1] and generated Eclipse projects to browse Jenkins source. Unfortunately, when I imported those projects into Eclipse, it turned out that jenkins-core and maven-plugin contain errors preventing them from compiling (and hence parsing) properly. When I clicked on the very first error it turned out that Eclipse complained about @Override annotation on the method implementing an interface. According to [2] this was NOT allowed in Java 5 and was first added in Java 6. I've used instructions on the same page to fix project settings for jenkins-core and maven-plugin to be Java 6 compliant at the source level, and all the errors were gone. Given that according to [1], JDK 6 is required to build Jenkins, and some Java 6 features are used in the code anyway, I don't see why generated projects try to be Java 5 compliant.
