----------------------------------
Attachment: thrift-1254.patch
What do you think of this patch, Raphael?
> Code can't be compiled against a regular JRE: Object.clone() override has a
> different return type
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-1254
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1254
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JavaME - Compiler
> Affects Versions: 0.6.1
> Reporter: Raphaël Bartement
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: Patch.patch, thrift-1254.patch
>
>
> Code generator produces 2 methods to clone objects: "clone" and "deepCopy",
> with the exact same implementation.
> The "clone()" methods is conflicting with the regular Object.clone() method
> of the standard Java platform. Its return type is different (type of the
> object, instead of just Object).
> (http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html#clone())
> This prevent the code from being compiled by the regular java compiler.
> This is not it's finality, but it is really useful to produce intermediate
> libraries as JAR files.
> Using only RAPC (BlackBerry's JDE compiler), we would have to include source
> code directly.
> Attached patch preserves the strongly typed signature of deepCopy(), but turn
> back clone()'s return type to Object.
