The WSAD 5.1 contains jdk 1.3 and 1.4 but I want to upgrade them to jdk 1.5. How to do that?

Thanks,

From your WASD menu:

--> Window --> Preferences --> Java --> Installed JREs --> <click on 'Add' button>

.... (you'd know what to do next)


Hope this helps.

Yes, I did that but it is not helpful because we are not allowed to change the complier to 1.5 version. So java file with new feature (e.g., generics) still can't be complied.

The problem is how to change the complier and jvm to version 1.5.

Thanks,

Try this:

right click a particular project -> select Java Build Path -> select Libraries tab -> remove the JRE_LIB with the jdk 1.5 rt.jar, then JDK1.5 compiler will be used

Hope it helps

We are using WSAD 5.0 and the application which we want to deploy has been developed in JDK1.5 using generics and various annotations of JDK 1.5. Please tell me the way to make WSAD 5.0 as JDK1.5 compliance.

the solution specified is not working, through the rt.jar you can refer to the APIs but it can not change the compiler of WSAD 5.0 from jdk 1.4 compiler to JDK 1.5 compiler. there sould be some other way to do that

If anybody has done it, please let me know the steps to do that.

There is no supported way to change WSAD 5 to use Java 5. WSAD is an old IDE and does not work with later versions of Java. How about upgrading to RSA 7 (beta) which does support Java 5 or even Eclipse standalone?

You can't deploy a Java 5 application to WebSphere 5 anyway (which is the version of the server that goes with WSAD 5.) So why are you required to use WSAD for your Java 5 apps?
