Yes, annotations are metadata - they don’t change behaviour of the code. In particular, this one just tells the compiler to flag an error if the method isn’t an override to catch problems.
Is this with Optimus? I was curious at the results for the spec test in Processing and Eclipse to see if you had different GPUs / drivers in play. If so, is there a way you can test with a forced GPU choice?
Always a possibility! Can you compile in Eclipse but run against the JDK inside the Processing installation? Eclipse should have an option for running projects against a different JDK to the one you’re running the IDE on, somewhere … (not my choice of IDE)
As a NetBeans release manager, and a big fan of Maven, I cannot help but agree!
