I have some code that has generic references in it and my IBM RAD IDE will not compile the code, instead treating it as an error. I have checked the version of the JRE its pointing to across all the Enterprise Project’s and it is 1.5 which I am told does support generics. Also I checked that all the libraries for WAS were pointing to the correct version and that the Compiler Compliance Level was set correctly (which it was at 5.0 and i changed it to 6.0 with no luck either)
@@EDIT – to answer the question of the comment below I am using RAD version 7.0.0.10 and yes I checked the compiler properties of the entire IDE as well as the individual project that was having issues – tried pointing both of these to a local jre6 and still cannot get it to compile.
@@EDIT – I did not mention that I did also check the version of the JDK and the JRE and they are both 1.5 – the JDK i am using for the project and the IDE are as follows: C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP70\jdk\bin\java.exe and C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP70\jdk\jre\bin\java.exe and again both are version 1.5
Does anyone have any suggestions as to anything else I can try? I have issues like this with RAD all the time and I dont know about anyone else but they took eclipse and made it complicated and dysfunctional.
Turns out the JRE System Library and the Websphere Application Server libraries had been pointing to the wrong place – they were marked as Websphere Portal 6.1 and not Websphere Application Server 6.1 – and who KNOWS what JRE/JDK configurations that package had – I am very very sorry for wasting everyone’s time, this was something I did not even see until I scrolled to the right out of curiosity.
Thanks
