java -target compile

Question

How do I compile a java program in a different version if I have 1.6 and I want it compiled in 1.5? Would it be like...

javac -target1.5 tileGen

But when I do that I get:

error: Class names, 'tileGen', are only accepted if annotation processing is exp licitly requested 1 error

Answer 1

The problem is that javac takes the name of a source file (ending in `.java) not the name of a class.

Try

javac -target 1.5 tileGen.java

instead.

Answer 2

Try adding .java to your class name
