javacTarget ignored on build [message #464839]

Hi,

I generated build.xml files for my plugins using PDE Tools -> Create Ant
Build File.

Now I had the problem that building my RCP Application with this
build.xml the code is compiled with 1.3.

I set the javacTarget:
<property name="javacTarget" value="5.0"/>

But this is IGNORED! It doesn't produce 5.0 classes!

What's the problem?

Thanks for your help.

Kind Regards, Simon

Simon,
To be clear, it is the bundleJavacTarget property that gets passed to the javac
ant task. However, note that by default the bundleJavacTarget property is being
set to ${javacTarget}.

If you modified the generated build.xml by hand, note that those changes will be
lost on export or headless build when the scripts are regenerated. You can set
javacTarget in your plugin's build.properties and it will be generated directly
into the bundleJavacTarget property.

If you could change the log extension to be .xml instead of .log and
send me the resulting xml log. I could investigate what is going on.
To change the log extension:
<property name="logExtension" value=".xml"/>

instead of:
<property name="logExtension" value=".log"/>
