Compiling classes with JDK1.5 instead of 1.4

Question

When compiling this perfectly working piece of code under SJSC2EA2:
private double eval(double t, int... p) {
return ( p[0] * Math.pow(1-t, 3) +
3 * p[1] * Math.pow(1-t, 2) * t +
3 * p[2] * (1-t) * Math.pow(t, 2) +
p[3] * Math.pow(t, 3));
I get this error message (between the dashed lines) from the compiler:
init:
deps-jar:
Compiling 2 source files to C:\Documents and Settings\mohsen madi\Desktop\sjstudio8\bezierAndPostscript\build\classes
C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\sjstudio8\bezierAndPostscript\src\BezPSNoComments.java:227: variable-arity methods are not supported in -source 1.4
(try -source 1.5 to enable variable-arity methods)
private double eval(double t, int... p) {
C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\sjstudio8\bezierAndPostscript\src\BezierPostScript.java:316: variable-arity methods are not supported in -source 1.4
(try -source 1.5 to enable variable-arity methods)
private double eval(double t, int... p) {
2 errors
BUILD FAILED (total time: 0 seconds)
Of course, I right-clicked my project, selected proprties, and saw that:
- in "Libraries", the Java Platform field is set to JDK1.5 (Default)
- in "Build->Compiling", I added the "-source 1.5" in Additional Compiler Options, and
- in "Run", I added "-source 1.5" at the VM Options field
But non of that worked for me!
Apparently, one would get the same message any time one uses a Java 5 feature like the "variable-length argument list" above or the "enhanced for loop".
How can I make my project be compiled by JDK 1.5 to make benefit of the Java 5.0 features and not have it go to J2EE 1.4 apparently or wherever it goes?
Thanks,

YOu might want to post this on the Creator 2 EA 2 forum instead.
