Before Java 5.0 was released, DrJava provided support for Sun’s prototype compiler that supported generics, known as JSR-14. This support is no longer available in DrJava, but you can download an older version (such as drjava-stable-20040326) if it is needed. To use JSR-14 in DrJava, you will first need to download it from Sun’s Java Developer Connection site. (Note that this requires creating a free user account.) Once you have downloaded the package, open the older DrJava application, select the Preferences window (from the Edit menu) and specify the locations of the JSR-14 versions of javac.jar and collect.jar, which were included in the package you downloaded. JSR-14 should now appear in the list of available compilers on the Compiler Output tab. Note on Requirements: The newer versions of JSR-14 (versions 1.3 and later) require a JDK version 1.4.1 or later. Version 1.2 of JSR-14 requires JDK 1.4, while version 1.0 will work with JDK 1.3.1.
