Did you ever get a chance to take a look into this? I have a few japicompat fixes that I'd like to make a release out of, but I don't want to make one with this problem still outstanding.It's not a new problem, but I was able to ignore it before. Now japize stops dead in its tracks. Because I know Classpath has this $ClassFactory and JDK 1.4 does not... Jode must be reading something in Classpath's .class files referencing this and trying to use reflection to load it which fails under the JDK. Again I used to see this (and I ignored it) but it didn't cause japize to die as it does now.
There are two approaches that I think may be worth pursuing here:
1) Email me the classfile(s) that are a problem (I guess java.lang.reflect.Proxy*.class) and I'll forward them to the Jode maintainer and see whether he has any ideas. A UTFDataFormatException suggests to me that the classfile itself is corrupted, or that the low levels of Jode's classfile reading are confused and expecting UTF data where there isn't any.
2) Try compiling Classpath, or perhaps just java.lang.reflect.Proxy, with a different java compiler. If it *is* an invalid classfile, it seems unlikely that two different compilers would both exhibit the same incorrect behavior.
Thanks,
Stuart.
