John- You are right again, once you install the environment descriptions there aren't any additional steps (and there are no *.ee files). I am able to browse to either a project properties page or the workbench properties page and under Plug-in Development -> API Errors/Warnings it lists the execution environment descriptions installed.
However, there still seems to be an issue. The problem comes down to the preference in .settings -> org.eclipse.jdt.launching.prefs : org.eclipse.jdt.launching.PREF_STRICTLY_COMPATIBLE_JRE_NOT_AVAILABLE=error If I change 'error' to 'warning' the compile errors go away. If I add a JDK1.5 the compile errors go away. Is this a bug in the org.eclipse.jdt.launching.PREF_STRICTLY_COMPATIBLE_JRE_NOT_AVAILABLE preference? (that it doesn't read the valid environment descriptions) Thanks, JD On Mon, Jul 30, 2012 at 2:00 PM, John Arthorne <[email protected]>wrote: > After installing the descriptions from the repository, I don't think you > need to do anything else (perhaps a rebuild?)
