Kathey, I have done as you requested: Some classes do compile but only few.
Here is local.properties: jdk16="C:/IBM/Java_SDK_1.6" j16lib=${jdk16}/jre/lib java16compile.classpath=${j16lib}/sql.jar;${j16lib}/xml.jar;${j16lib}/ibmjcefw.jar;${j16lib}/security.jar;${j16lib}/rt.jar;${j16lib}/security.jar;${j16lib}/vm.jar;${j16lib}/java.util.jar;${j16lib}/jndi.jar;${j16lib}/logging.jar;${j16lib}/jlm.jar;${j16lib}/annotation.jar classpath=${j16lib}/sql.jar;${j16lib}/xml.jar;${j16lib}/ibmjcefw.jar;${j16lib}/security.jar;${j16lib}/rt.jar;${j16lib}/security.jar;${j16lib}/vm.jar;${j16lib}/java.util.jar;${j16lib}/jndi.jar;${j16lib}/logging.jar;${j16lib}/jlm.jar;${j16lib}/annotation.jar bootclasspath=${j16lib}/sql.jar;${j16lib}/xml.jar;${j16lib}/ibmjcefw.jar;${j16lib}/security.jar;${j16lib}/rt.jar;${j16lib}/security.jar;${j16lib}/vm.jar;${j16lib}/java.util.jar;${j16lib}/jndi.jar;${j16lib}/logging.jar;${j16lib}/jlm.jar;${j16lib}/annotation.jar printCompilerProperties=true And here is the build output...
