Can't complile MySQL Connector/J with JDK1.7

Question

I modified MySQL Connector/J and in my modification I used 2 jars ( built on JDK1.7 ). When I tried to build the jdbc using ANT build I faced the following errors, I think this error happening because there is new methods in JDK1.7 added on the interfaces of the JDBC, and there some issues in compatibility with Generic syntax (), any advice please how I can build this JDBC using JDK1.7:

Answer 1

You did not mention which version of Connector/J you are using. The version 5.1 has implementation of those additional interface methods.
