In Eclipse got 1 error, 99 Warnings

[thedawn2000]

The Error I got was:
Syntax error on token ".", = expected

What do I do about this?

[thedawn2000]

the error was in:
UDPConnectionProcessor.java

[thedawn2000]

This was also in the error.... I'm a newbie... please forgive me:

Syntax error on token ".", = expected
UDPConnectionProcessor.java
Limewire/core/com/limegroup/gnutella/udpconnect
line 674

Not sure if this is right, error is gone and it does make sense (to me ;) )

update your code to rev 20730 (which should be current at the point of posting this msg).

then simply comment out the assert line in UDPConnector....java ( put // in front of it). That basically removes the line from the compilation, which means the code will not check that the pointer in the chunk of data being passed is @ the beginning.... but , hey! it is beta software! :D

good luck,

Looks like Eclipse is set up to compile without support for Java 1.4. The wiki should be updated to reflect changing Eclipse to have 1.4 support. We're eventually going to be using a lot more 1.4 & 1.5 constructs, so this is a good test-run.

n00b or not: I actually last week helped a fellow LimeWire developer here with exactly this same issue. Sam is right - you have to change Eclipse to use Java 1.4. Here are the steps:
