Or possibly even better, is it safe to set the 'Compiler compliance level' setting to Java 5 while setting the 'Generated .class files compatibility' and 'Source compatibility' settings to 1.4 ? That's something I've never done, but hopefully it would allow me to use the latest version of the IDE.

My client has WebSphere 5.x deployed and must stay on Java 1.4 for now, so I have to develop my code to be 1.4 compliant. However, I want to utilize the Drools engine and IDE to develop a rules component for them. I hope I can get this environment working.

I think you need java 5 for the ide even though the engine can run
