@override?

[George2]

Hello everyone,

I am using JDK 1.4 and there is a compiling a 3rd party program error because of un-recognized word @override. Could anyone let me know what is the function of @override and in order to use it, which version of JDK is required?

thanks in advance,
George

Those are called annotations and are supported from Java 1.5 and up. Hence the error.

The reference is very informative. Do you have any samples of how to use @override?
