That's exactly what is happening. Oddly enough I think that Japi is correct, to be fully source compatible we also need to add a private accessibleParent field to AccessibleJTreeNode. I've attached an example that compiles against the JDK 1.5 libraries (with the Eclipse Java Compiler), but fails against Classpath. Note that javac produces broken code when you compile this file. Note also that in the correct compilation accessibleParent actually refers to tree.accessibleParent, not node.accessibleParent. It's really amazing how complex the seemingly simple Java language is... Regards, Jeroen
