[ERROR] declare @type is only supported at Java 5 compliance level or above - ROO

[vganesh]

Hello,

I am testing the clinic sample from roo in Redhat Enterprise Linux Version 5.5

My environment is:

$ set | grep HOME
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0/
MAVEN_HOME=/home/<userid>/apache/apache-maven-3.0.3
ROO_HOME=/home/<userid>/spring/spring-roo-1.2.0.M1
...

I ran these commands

rm -rf /home/<userid>/work/roo/samples/clinic
mkdir /home/<userid>/work/roo/samples/clinic
cd /home/<userid>/work/roo/samples/clinic
roo.sh script --file /home/<userid>/springsource/spring-roo-1.1.5.RELEASE/samples/clinic.roo

...

mvn install
...
[INFO] --- aspectj-maven-plugin:1.2:test-compile (default) @ petclinic ---
[ERROR] declare @type is only supported at Java 5 compliance level or above
[ERROR] The method getId() is undefined for the type Owner

How to fix this? In which file do I need to set java version? Is there a known issue of using Spring ROO with jdk 1.7 ?

Thanks and regards,

I get the same error, whenever I try and complete the 'ten_minutes' demo.
I have tried with JDK5, JDK6, and JDK7. (With JDK5, I get even a less informative error. With JDK6 and JDK7, I get the same error as mentioned).
Can someone please help, as I was pretty excited about Roo, and am now getting less excited..

Hi all,

I get the same error with the last STS version and with a previous one.
I found something in a forum about java 7 not recognized as well in the pom.xml project file during compilation.
The solution was to modify your pom.xml and replace 1.7 source and target compile level with 1.5 or 1.6.
I tried this solution and it works for me yesterday.

The solution : http://forum.springsource.org/showth...o-amp-Java-1.7

The workaround of using 1.6 as the <source> and <target> in the aspectj-maven-plugin v1.2 in JDK7 systems (see https://jira.springsource.org/browse/ROO-2824) got clobbered on 21st Oct. I just re-applied the same code.
