http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22705 ant 1.6alpha (and possibly earlier) requires JDK 1.4 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-08-25 22:51 ------- I've encountered this before; it is as Eric observed in his second comment -the append(StringBuffer) method is new, and if your code compiles against the 1.4 version, it wont run against older versions. the other fix is to cast the buffer to Object :- description.append( (Object)descComp ); Eric, note that release builds have historically been made in a very complex way, which involves downlevel java versions at the right time to compile java1.1 code, java1.4 only to build the 1.4 specific bits. Release versions of ant would not have exhibited this problem, only nightly Gump builds. And we recommend you build your own in those situations, as the nightly builds often miss out on useful optional stuff. Thank you for finding the bug, however, as it is one of those sublties that could have caught us out. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
