Using JDK 1.6 causes "ParseException: Can't use generics unless running in JDK 1.5 mode! " unless set targetJdk to 1.5, not 1.6 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MPMD-92 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPMD-92 Project: Maven 2.x PMD Plugin Issue Type: Bug Components: PMD Affects Versions: 2.4 Reporter: Paul Sundling Attachments: minimal.zip Related to http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPMD-67 , although they asked me to open a new issue and since this affects a new version. This error does not appear when invoking 'mvn pmd:pmd', but only when doing 'mvn site:site site:deploy'. It generates at least two types of warnings and related stacktraces: 1. Caused by: net.sourceforge.pmd.ast.ParseException: ERROR: Can't use enum as a keyword in pre-JDK 1.5 target 2. Caused by: net.sourceforge.pmd.ast.ParseException: Can't use generics unless running in JDK 1.5 mode! The following zip replicates the problem. Use JDK 1.6 and use <targetJdk>1.6</targetJdk> and it should fail, even if you set the compiler to be 1.5. Change to <targetJdk>1.5</targetJdk> and it should work. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
