Has anybody succeeded in getting JBuilder 2005 to work with Java 1.5?
Thanks.

There was an open tool for this on the Borland site at one time. You can
certainly try it. I had a a few problems with it.

You can compile with 1.5, but you are probably going to experience
runtime problems running the IDE on it.

Somehow I was under the impression that although still running on 1.4,
JB2005 was 'natively' capable of editing/compiling Java 5.

It is. The opentool the other guy talked about was for JBX.

JB2005 runs on JDK 1.4, but can be configured to compile and run any
project using JDK 1.5. The only real problem is trying to use the UI
designer to use JDK 1.5 specific features. If that is an issue, they
will need to upgrade to JB 2006 to get the full JDK 1.5 feature set.

It is, that's what I meant. The Open Tool is for running JB 2005 on top
of 1.5.

Looks like I missed that OpenTool.

How? I selected Java 1.5 in Project Properties > Build > Java
in Language Features and Target VM. Do I have to do anything else?
When I compile a 1.5 program I get the error mentioned in this post:

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/borland.public.jbuilder.compiler/browse_thread/thread/b902fc51da81672c/93f0825c06f3d2bb#93f0825c06f3d2bb

I'm not trying to use the UI designer, just the compiler to build a 1.5
program.

It's possible your JDK 1.5 configuration in Jbuilder got corrupted.
Remove and rebuild it, and then try again. Also, make certain that you
are performing a "Rebuild" not a "Make".

In addition to changing Project Properties > Build > Java > Language
Features and Target VM, you must also change the JDK to 1.5 (Project
Properties > Path > JDK), although you will first need to tell JBuilder
(Tools > Configure > JDKs) about the 1.5 JDK that I assume you installed
on your machine.
