Description Kathy Chan CLA 2007-01-23 16:51:54 EST 
Driver:  Eclipse 3.2.1

If I start the workbench with JDK 1.5 and create a Java project, the default JDK compliance level as shown by the UI is 1.5.  When I run the code snippet:

IJavaProject javaProject;
projectJdkComplianceLevel = javaProject.getOption ("org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.compliance", false);
defaultJdkComplianceLevel = (String)JavaCore.getDefaultOptions().get("org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.compliance");

Here's what I got:

projectJdkcomplianceLevel = null (as expected since it's not set for project) 
defaultJdkComplianceLevel = 1.4 (expected 1.5)

If I "enable project specific setting" and explicitely set compliance level to Java 5.0,

projectJdkcomplianceLevel = 1.5 (as expected) 
defaultJdkComplianceLevel = 1.4 (expected 1.5)

If I run the workbench with JDK 1.4, defaultJdkcomplianceLevel is 1.4 as expected.

Would it be possible to have this problem addressed for Eclipse 3.2.2?

Closing defect.  Not sure why multiple defects were opened.
