Less: Unresolved compilation problem in 1.0.2

[schmeedy]

I've installed 1.0.2 from the update site. When I tried to open a less file after installation, I got bunch of uncaught event loop exceptions and the editor did not initialize.

I was able to trace the cause of my problems to the net.vtst.ow.eclipse.less plugin which has unresolved compilation errors. Specifically, there are three implementations of interface methods annotated with an Override annotation (a feature introduced in Java 6, only class method overrides can be annotated in the Java 5). These are:

• LessResourceDescriptionStrategy.createEObjectDescriptions
• LessResourceDescriptionStrategy.createReferenceDescriptions
• an annonymous inner class in LessImportStatementResolver

I've been able to recompile the plugin from sources (after switching project JDK compliance to 1.5 and removing the Override annotations) and this solved the problem. The other possible solution would be to configure Eclipse build to use 1.6 compiler when exporting the plugins - I can imagine some magic switch exists for build.properties, but I don't know for sure.

Hello,

Thanks a lot for the very detailed bug report. I think you said everything :)
I just released a version 1.0.3 which is fixing this annoying problem. I changed my compilation settings so that it should not happen again.

Best,
