If you set the J2EE version to 1.4, you should also set the source level to 1.4 in
the combo box that appears.
Source Level Recommendations. One of the following checkboxes will appear
if the J2EE Version version is set to J2EE 1.4 and JDK 1.5 is set as the default platform in the

JDK 1.4 is available in the
Java Platform Manager. Select this checkbox to set both your JDK level and your source level to 1.4.

in the Java Platform Manager. Select this checkbox so that at least your source level is set to 1.4.
