Eclipse does not support Java Generics?

[zchenyu]

I seem to have a problem with Java generics (as well as other new features to Java 6) in Eclipse. It keeps telling me there is an error, even when I know that my code is correct. I know my code is correct because when I compile manually through Terminal, it compiles and runs fine.

Eclipse says in the sidebar as a part of my projects "JRE System Library [java-6-sun-1.6.0.03]". This confuses be because it appears that it is running on the Java 6 JRE.

Any ideas on why this is happening and how to solve this problem?

Oh, and sorry if this thread is in the wrong section.

Have you got the latest version of eclipse?

If so, check your project's compiler compliance level is > 5.0. To do this right click on your project and select Properties then Java Compiler and ensure the settings are correct.

Heh, thanks
The compiler compliance level was set to 1.4 by default =/
