Hi Bryan,

I don't know why you are seeing these errors and I am not, but it seems
like build.xml sets the source level for the javadoc to 1.4:

    <javadoc
        executable="${javadoc.tool}"
        additionalparam="-J-mx320M"
        packagenames="org.*"
        access="private"
        breakiterator="yes"
        useexternalfile="yes"
        classpath="${out.dir};${java14compile.classpath};${jars.extras};${osgi}"
        destdir="${out.javadoc.dir}/engine"
        windowtitle="Apache Derby V${major}.${minor} Internals"
        doctitle="Apache Derby V${major}.${minor} Internals"
        Footer="${javadoc.Footer}"
        bottom="Apache Derby V${major}.${minor} Internals - &lt;i&gt;Copyright 
&amp;copy; 2004,2007 The Apache Software Foundation. All Rights 
Reserved.&lt;/i&gt;"
        source="1.4">

If changing the source level to 1.5 fixes it for you, I suggest that we
just cross our fingers and hope that no one vetos the JDK 5 vote (the
polls close at 5 pm PDT today) and check in the fix tomorrow. :)
