I am using java tree builder and JavaCC to make my own coding language. However, my eclipse is unhappy with the generated jtb code having @Override is this sence:

@Override
public <R, A> R accept(final IRetArguVisitor<R, A> vis, final A argu) {
  return vis.visit(this, argu);
}

The error says

Multiple markers at this line

The method accept(IRetArguVisitor, A) of type

AdditiveExpression must override a superclass method
implements EMSL.syntaxtree.INode.accept

Should I delete all the @Override Methods or what should I do to fix these errors? (And yes, all the errors have to do with the override)

What is your Java version ? – Gaël J Jan 05 '16 at 16:24
Is that method actually overriding something? Seems like maybe this is a `jtb` issue? – Taylor Jan 05 '16 at 16:26
I am using JDK version 1.5 and my Eclipse offered to delete the `@Override` method and that does remove the error – Ian S. Jan 05 '16 at 16:28

Why are you using version 1.5? Do you enjoy antiques? – Kayaman Jan 05 '16 at 16:30
Try with JDK 1.6+. Maybe it's because @Override in interfaces is available only since 1.6. – coolguy Jan 05 '16 at 16:36
If it helps the tree is generated by jtb 1.4.10 – Ian S. Jan 05 '16 at 16:48
oh and `@Override` is in the java version I am using, I think it might just be a bug in the generating of the code. I am making sure I can delete the `@Override`s without messing everything up. (is it overriding the already present statements with the new code language?) – Ian S. Jan 05 '16 at 16:59
