Why is javac failing on @Override annotation
- by skiphoppy
Eclipse is adding @Override annotations when I implement methods of an interface. Eclipse seems to have no problem with this. And our automated build process from Cruise Control seems to have no problem with this. But when I build from the command-line, with ant running javac, I get this error:
[javac] C:\path\project\src\com\us\MyClass.java:70: method does not override a method from its superclass
[javac] @Override
[javac] ^
[javac] 1 error
Eclipse is running under Java 1.6. Cruise Control is running Java 1.5. My ant build fails regardless of which version of Java I use.
