Generics are not supported at language level '1.4'using Intellij & Java ME

Question

I am using Java ME x IntelliJ for this project but I seem to be getting the Generics are not supported at language level '1.4' error for the below code block:

AccessPoint accessPoint = AccessPoint.of("WIFI",
                                                    new ConnectionOption<String>("ssid", "Net-1-AT"),
                                                    new ConnectionOption<char[]>("password", new char[]{'a', 't'}));
// specifically at the <String> and <char[]> areas

My configuration:

Answer 1

Generics where introduced to Java with version 5 (in 2004), which corresponds to language level 1.5 . Unless you are working on a specific project where you are bound to level 1.5 , for some external reason, you should use a more recent version (8, 11 or 14) because they are more secure and have the feature you are looking for.

Answer 2

J2ME is basically unsupported and has no support for newer language features. Write the code without generics.
