macOS Eclipse and OS X and import java.util.Scanner

[prostuff1]

I have just started my CS&E classes. Now we use windows and that is fine with me but i really dont want to have to go to the labs to do all my CS&E homework. I have installed the Java 1.5 stuff and did the terminal stuff to get it as the defualt java for everything. I followed the instrucation on this site.

I am using the import java.util.Scanner and i keep getting a message that says java.util.Scanner cannot be resolved.

Please help me out so i dont have to spend much amount of time sitting in craptastic chairs in the labs.

Thanks

What is your current version?

If you open up a terminal and type

java -version

what is your output?

Is the Compiler compliance level in Eclipse set to 5.0? You can check this by going into the project properties (option+Enter) -> Java Compiler -> JDK Compliance.

when i run that command in terminal i get this
java version "1.5.0_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_05-83)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_05-48, mixed mode, sharing)

This was it i think... It now tell me that it is not used instead of not being able to be found. I had selected it when i first started the project but for some reason it wanted me to select it there instead of at startup.

Thanks so much and everything seems to be fixed now.
