@Override annotation thowing error in Eclipse Juno but not in Eclipse Indigo

Question

I'm trying to move to using the latest version of Eclipse (Juno 4.2) but I am getting errors a project where I have used @Override annotation. The same project does not throw any errors in Eclipse Indigo.

I have had similar problems in the past but I have overcome them by changing the JRE on the buildpath. The settings for the project seems identical to me in Indigo and Juno. How do I solve this?

...

The compiler settings are also identical

I suspect there are different "JDK compliance" settings for the two projects.

See this question which explains how @Override changed between Java 1.5 and 1.6.

They seem identical to me too. I've updated the question to show this. – Codey McCodeface Jul 21 '12 at 11:39
Try altering the compliance level? – ᴇʟᴇvᴀтᴇ Jul 21 '12 at 11:44
I toggled it back and forward between 1.6 and 1.7 and the errors disappeared. I'm sure I'd done the same from 1.5 to 1.6 previously and it had no effect. Thanks – Codey McCodeface Jul 21 '12 at 11:49
After changing my git repository again I had the same issue when importing a maven project. Changing the compliance level and the compiler settings had no effect until I restarted Eclipse. – Codey McCodeface Jul 25 '12 at 10:59
I'm wondering if the project settings file `(projectdir)/.settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs` is checked into the Git repository? – ᴇʟᴇvᴀтᴇ Jul 25 '12 at 15:31
