@Override not working for me [message #146395] Mon, 03 April 2006 18:58 Go to next message

Originally posted by: eclipse.c3images.com

I just recently switched over to using Java 1.5, and I'm having trouble
with the @Override annotation. Specifically, even though I've set my
compiler compliance level to 5.0, whenever I try to use that annotation I
get an error that says "Type Mismatch: Cannot convert from Override to
Annotation." And this, despite the fact that I'm getting compiler warnings
saying that I'm -not- using @Override in the appropriate locations.

Is there some switch that I haven't turned on?

Thanks very much.

Can you give some code exhibiting this problem, or a screenshot?

If you visit http://homepage.mac.com/gmaletic/override.png you can see a
screenshot of the problem I'm talking about. When you mouseover the first
error, it says "Type Mismatch: Cannot convert from Override to
Annotation." When you mouseover the second error, it says "The method
getPossibleScreenshotNames() of type A2600Rom should be tagged with
@Override since it actually overrides a superclass method."

A paradox, no?

I wonder if maybe you are compiling against a 1.4 JRE even though you have
Java 5.0 compiler compliance turned on? Check your JRE classpath container,
in the Java Build Path dialog.
