Description Ayushman Jain

2009-08-27 08:40:02 EDT

Build ID: M20090826-1100

An auxiliary problem from bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=279836 is still not fixed for the given build.

public class Test {

  private static final class Contract implements Comparable {    @Override
    public int compareTo(Object o) {
      return 0;
    }
  }

}

javac compiles without errors but eclipse compiler reports the following on line 5:
The method compareTo(Object) of type Test.Contract must override a superclass method

What compliance are you using to compile this code?
You need the compliance 1.6 if you don't want a problem to be reported.

I checked that it compiles fine using compliance 1.6.
Closing as INVALID.

Strange. I'm using 1.6 as well and the error is there.

Srikanth is unable to reproduce either with 1.6, but I am able to consistently reproduce, so will investigate more and reopen the defect if needed.

Are you sure that your project doesn't have a project specific settings pointing to a 1.5 compliance?

I tried several times and I can only get the error with the compliance 1.5 and I never get it with the compliance 1.6.
This is the expected behavior.

Verified for 3.6M2

Comment 7 Ayushman Jain

Note: I checked and found my project specific settings were indeed wrong..set to compliance 1.5 ! So the bug is surely invalid.

Verified.
