Hi,
I used to get this error when using the Eclipse IDE and a setting called
the Compiler compliance level was set to lower than Java 1.5, which does
not support generics.
Even if you are not using Eclipse, I wonder if the problem is the same -
i.e. ant is somehow picking up an old version of the JDK. Can you try
ensuring that it is pointing to a proper version at build time ?
Thanks
Hemanth
