@override?

[George Lin]

Hello everyone,


I am using JDK 1.4 and there is a compiling a 3rd party program error because of un-recognized word @override. Could anyone let me know what is the function of @override and in order to use it, which version of JDK is required?


thanks in advance,
George

Hi,

if you take a look at @Override it states it has been available since J2SE 5.0 so you'll need the JDK5.0 or higher.

If it gets in the way of compiling, you can safely delete it from the source without fear of runtime consequences.

I am looking for samples of how to use @override. Do you have any samples or sample reference?

@Override is an annotation. Annotations are a new feature added to Java in version 5.
