[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (LOGTOOL-44) Make configurable whether @Override annotation shall be added

[James Perkins (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/LOGTOOL-44?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12680679#comment-12680679 ] 

James Perkins commented on LOGTOOL-44:
--------------------------------------

Yes we do use Java 6 specific features in the logging tooling and the Log Manager, but not logging itself. You'd have to compile with Java 6 no matter what and since @Override has source level retention, it shouldn't matter.

> The annotation processor adds the {{@java.lang.Override}} annotation to the methods of generated log or message bundle classes. For methods implementing interface methods this is allowed only in Java 6 and above, while in Java 5 {{@Override}} is only allowed for methods overriding methods from superclasses.
> Therefore compilation of the generated classes fails using Java 5. To address this issue, the annotation should be added conditionally based on the current source level.
