Useless @Override annotations?

[Jacques Le Roux]

Hi,

By chance I looked into Eclipse Problems View and I found a lot of "errors" regarding @Override annotations
Are they supposed to be used later of simply left out there?

Thanks

@Override is useful in 1.6 and later. The compiler will warn you if the
super class or interface being overridden has changed.

Yes thanks, I know that, I just wonder why Eclipse shows errors, maybe an Eclipse setting in "Java/Compiler/Errors-Warnings" then?

Are you sure you have Eclipse set for 1.6 compatibility? I don't see any
warnings on my copy.

That was it, thanks Adrian!

I see only 8 errors now. They are false reports though I wonder why it complains about getContextPath() in
request.getSession().getServletContext().getContextPath()
http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest.html#getContextPath%28%29

Anyway not a big deal
