Well, obviously, my coffee is somehow defective. *Now* it's all working without issue for me, as well: Eclipse building, ant from within Eclipse, and ant command-line are all building version 49.0 class files. All I can figure is that maybe I had let Eclipse auto- build the class files, and those got incorporated into my jar, application bundle, etc. Could've sworn I had wiped out the bin dir after setting the compliance level, though...

Thanks for the confirmation, David.

I'm trying to figure out how to build WO 5.3.3 apps under 10.6, to be deployed on 10.4 (with java 1.5). I would normally build my apps on the development box with ant, then move them over. I got the impression from something I read (no idea where, now) that you could use Snow Leopard's java 1.6 compiler to build 1.5-compliant apps. I don't think the Eclipse Java -> Compiler -> compliance level affects what ant does, neither from within Eclipse, nor (of course) from the command line.

I've seen suggestions to add source and target attributes to the wocompile task. I assume that means something like this: <wocompile srcdir="Sources" destdir="bin" source="1.5" target="1.5">

We are setting the compiler compliance level and using the source and target values in our wocompile tasks and building WO5.3.3 apps for deployment on Tiger and Leopard server without issue.
