[iText-questions] Compilation of iText using JAVA ver. 1.3

[Normann Nielsen]

Title: Message

Hi there!

 

I am trying to compile iText using JAVA version 1.3.1_15, as can be seen here:

 

java version "1.3.1_15"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_15-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_15-b01, mixed mode)

 

Changing the compiler to a newer version is not an option. I am required to use the version 1.3.1 version.

 

During compilation, I get the following error:

 

compile:
    [javac] Compiling 207 source files to C:\projekter\iText\build\bin\classes
    [javac] C:\projekter\iText\src\com\lowagie\text\pdf\PdfGraphics2D.java:347:cannot resolve symbol
    [javac] symbol  : variable LAYOUT_LEFT_TO_RIGHT
    [javac] location: class java.awt.Font
    [javac]             drawGlyphVector(this.font.layoutGlyphVector(new FontRenderContext(new AffineTransform(), true, false), s.toCharArray(), 0, s.length(), java.awt.Font.LAYOUT_LEFT_TO_RIGHT), x, y);
    [javac]

 

            ^
    [javac] 1 error

 

BUILD FAILED
C:\projekter\iText\src\build.xml:72: The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\projekter\iText\src\ant\compile.xml:31: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.

 

The field LAYOUT_LEFT_TO_RIGHT arrived in Java ver. 1.4x, and is not around in Java ver. 1.3x.

 

Is there a simple workaround here?
