assert in eclipse IDE

[merlin bar]

Eclipse complains about assert, saying

assert should not be used as an identifier, since it is a reserved keyword from source level 1.4 on
syntax error on token "assert", assert expected.

The line of code in question is

assert  guiLevel >= 0 && guiLevel <= 75 : guiLevel;

I searched this site and found a post on this topic, but the solution may have been for a different version, as I have already chosen 1.4 compliance in the preferences. This did not work. Im using Eclipse 2.0
Thanks in advance,
merlin

Personally, I would upgrade to Eclipse 2.1.x or Eclipse 3.0M5

Whoops, sorry - I am using version 3.0
