Using 'enum' keyword in java agent

Notes/Domino 8 Forum

Subject: Using 'enum' keyword in java agent

Feedback Type: Problem

Product Area: Designer Client

Technical Area: Error Message

Platform: Windows XP client

Release: 8.0.1

Reproducible: Always

I was under the impression that Domino 8 used the Java 1.5 (5.0) JVM to run; while attempting to make use of the enum functionality that was introduced in 1.5, I receive the following warning:
"warning: as of release 1.5, 'enum' is a keyword, and may not be used as an identifier".

Then "try -source 1.5 to use 'enum' as a keyword".

This is followed by an error expecting a ';' after the enum keyword, which I interpret as the compiler not making use of the 1.5 functionality. So my question is this - it seems like I have a 1.5 JVM and compiler, but that it is set by the Designer Client to compile in a 1.4 compatibility mode. Is there any way to modify this behavior?

Thanks,
Will
