I have trouble building plugins, everything works fine if I try ant jar, but if I try ant plugins I get these error messages

C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Desktop\jive_messenger_src\src\plugins\broadcast\src\java\org \jivesoftware\messenger\plugin\BroadcastPlugin.java:165: cannot find symbol

symbol : method getAdmins()

location: class org.jivesoftware.messenger.group.Group

2 errors

I also have trouble running the server. I am running

java version “1.5.0_05”

Java™ 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_05-b05)

Java HotSpot™ Client VM (build 1.5.0_05-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

I get these error messages when I try to run messenger.bat:

Exception in thread “main” java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems: The type Map is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments Syntax error, parameterized types are only available if source level is 5.0 modules cannot be resolved or is not a field

For the last part of your problem: Could it be that although you have Java 1.5 installed, you’‘re running JM using another version? (you might have two versions installed, for example). What’'s the output of ‘‘java -version’’?

If you’‘re using an IDE, you might need to enable Java 1.5 support. In Eclipse, you’'d need one of the following:

  • Add java5 to the installed jre’s (Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JRE’s)

  • Set the compiler compliance level to 5.0 (Window > Preferences > Java > Compiler)

In Netbeans, you can use (Tools -> Java Platform Manager) to check your default platform.

Thanks Guus, your suggestion of enabling 1.5 in eclipse solved all my problems

It works fine now as long as I run the server with java -jar startup.jar, I can’'t run messenger.bat because the -server flag causes the hotspot virtual machine to crash with an unexpected internal error for some reason.
