method does not override a method from its superclass

I am having a problem building our code in Java 1.5. Apparently (see the links below), in Java 1.6 the @Override annotation can also be applied to methods that are implemented from an interface:

For examples of code which won’t compile in Java 1.5 please see:

framework\admin\admin_clients\src\main\java\uk\co\mycompany\adminclients\dao\mapper\UserMapper.java
framework\admin\admin_framework_v2\src\main\java\uk\co\mycompany\admin\dao\ToolTipDaoImpl.java

I really need to get the code compiling… so I think we have to make a choice:

• Install Java 1.6 to all our servers.

• Remove the @Override annotations where they are not compatible with Java 1.5
