[Springframework-developer] Eclipse project source level

[Colin S. <col...@ex...>]

Note that I have had to set the Eclipse project for Spring to JDK 1.5 
compliance so that it doesn't complain about the Annotations related 
code. It also puts out JDK 1.5 specific code. When you enable this on a 
project specific basis, eclipse puts the stuff in some files in a 
.settings subdirectory, which I've now checke din.

The other option would have been for people to all set their default 
eclipse preferences to JDK 1.5, but I think that's less desireable, when 
we can explicitly indicate in the project prefs that it's 1.5 support is 
needed.

Since we're mixing source trees at this point, this is being done for 
the whole codebase.

If you're building Spring to give out to other people, make sure to 
build from Ant and do a clean, so that all non 1.5 code gets built as 
JDK 1.3 compatible code.
