[My guess, before code of the op]

In Java 6, you can use @Override to annotate a method that implement an interface. In Java 5 you are not allow to do that.

See: Why is javac failing on @Override annotation

Thanks for this... I couldn't figure out what the problem was when I switched machines. 1.5 was enabled, switched to 1.6 and everything is great. Thanks. – knaak Feb 22 '12 at 16:30

You can't override a private method.

Are the supertype's methods private, or just the class itself?
