Im studying computer engineering and i feel dumb like fuck now.
I cant find right Eclipse version. Im in need of 5.0 java compiler, but all i get when i download eclipse are 1.1 to 1.6
I downloaded standard Eclipse IDE from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads.

Any help would be great!
Yours sincerely,
wannabe programmer.

Isn't the 5.0 java compiler really labelled version 1.5? I could be wrong, but thats what I thought.

Edit:
NOTE: The Java version numbering scheme is a bit of a mess, thanks to the geniuses in Sun's marketing department. Java 5 is internally numbered as 1.5. In fact, the various versions of Java are officially named Java 1.0, Java 1.1, Java2 SE 1.2, Java2 SE 1.3, Java2 SE 1.4, Java2 SE 5.0, Java SE 6. The SE denotes the “standard edition”. There is a micro edition (ME) for cell phones and other small devices, and an enterprise edition (EE) for servers

java 1.5 is the same as java 5
eclipse usually comes without a JDK so you'd need to download that yourself

You can just download the latest Java version and the latest eclipse version. In the eclipse properties it is possible to set the compiler compliance level to 1.5 if you need to. It is also possible to set the Java version eclipse uses.

The IDE doesn't come with a JDK, so you need to dl them separately.

1. DL Java 5 jdk from here http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp
2. DL eclipse
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

If you have eclipse already installed, but still need to install the JDK, dont uninstall eclipse.

Just install the JDK and change the JDK pointer in the eclipse settings to your JDK folder.

Btw are you sure you want to use the 1.5 JDK? I don't see a reason why you wouldn't want to use the 1.6 JDK.

Also make sure your JDK matches your JRE version or you might end up confused ^_^

all java releases currently are 1.x numbers. in normal speaking its conventional to say "java 5.x" or whatever because each .x is a BIG increase from the last, and sun refers to it as "java 5" or whatever.

and java is very uncomplicated compared to most other languages (try assembly lol).

java 6 maintains full compatibility with java 5, and for stuff you're using it for there shouldnt be anything deprecated, so you can just use java 6 compiler. if you really need to just go to sun.java.com and get java 5 and point your ide to use it.
