Description Paul de Vrieze CLA 2004-12-03 04:44:44 EST 
When using an 1.5 jdk to build eclipse, and using the compiler adapter classes
provided the build fails on bug #52916. This might be because of old classes.
Besides this there are various warnings of enum variables, but these are not fatal.
Comment 1 Kim Moir CLA 2004-12-03 11:14:46 EST 
There are some settings that need to be changed to support it.  We will test
them and document it in our source build instructions.
Comment 2 Kim Moir CLA 2004-12-06 16:24:49 EST 
In the build.xml of your source build, change the value for javacSource to 1.4

<property name="javacSource" value="1.4" />
