[ solved ] invalid target release: 1.5

[mrudmann]

I was using eclipse and ant to build Alfresco from HEAD and i received this error: invalid target release: 1.5

Also, eclipse gives me the following error information when I attempted that ant build:

Can someone help me out?  Should I be getting the svn from another location?

Thanks!

Ok.  It's solved.

Added and selected the checkbox for jdk1.5 NOT the jre - this had things mucked up.

How I did it:
-Click Window menu item
-Click Preferences
-Click Java
-Click Installed JREs (I noted that only the JRE was listed when I did this)
-Click Add
-Browse to root folder of jdk1.5
-Click OK (or whatever the button that submits this selection is)
-Make sure the checkbox for the jdk (not the jre) is selected
-Click OK
-Then right click again on the build.xml under the Ant project and select "Run as Ant" and hopefully sit back and watch the successful build!
