Installation problems in NWDS

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have installed NWDS 2004 in my system. I have 2 folders in my system ,one is JDK 1.5.0.09 version and one more is J2re 1.4.0.13 .

What is the difference b/w these two ,I mean JDK and J2re(runtime environment).

If I build a DC ,it is giving the following error.

[echo] Starting Java compiler

[javac] Compiling 28 source files to C:\Documents and Settings\wb319033\.dtc\0\t\E92251A26DB5BF8CE5D55C217A7AEFDB\classes

C:\Documents and Settings\wb319033\.dtc\0\t\E92251A26DB5BF8CE5D55C217A7AEFDB\gwd\packages\wb\org\upi\UpisearchView.java:23: as of release 1.5, 'enum' is a keyword, and may not be used as an identifier

(try -source 1.4 or lower to use 'enum' as an identifier)

import com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.repository.enum.WDComponentLifecycleEnumInfo;

^

1 error

It is suggesting to use 1.4 or lower version. but I am confused that is it suggesting for the J2re or JDk ?

and also where should we declare the usage of this java folders in NWDS?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

For WD you need to use JDK 1.4 and not 1.5 (which is not supported).

Open your NWDS -> Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs and make sure that 1.4.x is checked.

Then, try to compile again your project.

Basically JRE is for runtime and JDK is for developing (compiling).

The terminology in SAP NWDS is confusing: "The checked JRE will be used by default to <b>build</b> and run Java Programs"
