[news.eclipse.tools] Re: Different JREs for different Java projects

["Daniel E. Stolz" <dan.stolz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This would compile against the correct library, but would be using the wrong
compiler.  Unless Eclipse is using an internal compiler regardless.  I don't
consider myself even close to an expert on java compilation, so I don't even
know if this would matter.

Out of curiosity, (because I'm not actually using it), how would that affect
something like the 'assert' keyword?  I'm guessing if I set the default JDK
to 1.3, it should throw an error (unfortunately) in my 1.4 code.  If I set
the default to JDK 1.4, use of assert in my 1.3 code wouldn't throw a
warning.

I tried what you suggested and it worked, as I assumed it would before
trying.  This should work out well for me because I build for deployment
outside of Eclipse using Ant so any weird compiler issues would be detected
then anyway.

Thanks for the help and getting back to me much more quickly than I got back
to you. :)
