The problem you're specifying is very strange as it's not required to install JDK/JRE 1.5 to compile the code for 1.5. Can you share the snapshot of your eclipse > preferences > java > compiler screen. Also make sure the the project's compiler settings are not overriding eclipse global compiler settings.

Thanks, but as I have said, I have changed the preference and I still get the error.

What else can I do to eliminate the error?

I use no java 1.6 code. The application is currently being developed on a Leopard environment with java 1.5 and I am trying to set up a new development machine.

Thanks in Advance

Thats fine! JDK 1.6 compiler can generate code compatible to JDK 1.5. The message is for the target system. I've the same scenario where I have applications in production running on PPC platform 1.5 but I've on my Macbook 1.6.

However you may find error if you're having code of 1.6 which is not compatible to 1.5. In that case you need to change it with 1.5 compatible code. But chances are very rare you get an error.

Hi All,

I have done that :) but I still get the error

when I select 1.5 as the compiler compliance level, a message appears at the bottom
"When selecting 1.5 compliance, make sure to have a compatible JRE installed and activated (currently 1.6)"

but I can not install and activate 1.5 JRE because the directory is dimmed when I try and add the JRE!!!

Cheers

Set it to Java 1.5 before compiling.

You can do the similar setup per project.
