Need help with enums in java 1.5

[Parag]

I am trying to compile the following java code with the beta version
of java 1.5.
import java.*;

public class hello {

public enum test { a, b, c, d, e };
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("hello world");

}
}

I get the following error:

$ javac hello.java
hello.java:5: warning: as of release 1.5, 'enum' is a keyword, and may not be us
ed as an identifier
public enum test { a, b, c, d, e };
^
hello.java:5: ';' expected
public enum test { a, b, c, d, e };
^
1 error
1 warning

Am is missing something ?
Thanks

Yes, you are missing the -source 1.5 directive to your compiler.
