Reported: 2006-08-10 07:09:23 | Status: resolved fixed

R3.2 and I20060810-0010 * Workspace default JRE is jdk1.4.2_08 * Also have jdk1.5.0_08 in the workspace * Create a new Java project, specifying a project specific JRE for the project - jdk1.5.0._08 * Select the newly created project and check its "properties..." * Select the "Java Compiler" page to see that the compliance has been set to 1.5 * Press OK ==> build is started ==> new file gets added: '.settings/org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs' with: #Thu Aug 10 11:51:55 CEST 2006 eclipse.preferences.version=1 internal.default.compliance=default The "internal.default.compliance=default" seems to be the bad guy.
