Confirmed, javac will complain about it, JDT does not. Interesting. Workarounds:
- preprocess sources from ant and substitute @Override -> <empty>
- compile with ejc (Eclipse compiler).
The second worked for me if you compile from ant, for example:
<property name="build.compiler"
value="org.eclipse.jdt.core.JDTCompilerAdapter"/>
<target name="dist">
<echo>${eclipse.home}</echo>
<javac destdir="tmp/classes" source="1.6" target="1.5">
<src location="src2" />
<compilerarg value="-version" />
</javac>
</target>
it's just the javac that is picky about @Override.
