I think this is fixed in FastTreeMap/FastHashMap versions 1.3, by simply making the reference to Map.Entry explicit (rather than just Entry) but I don't have a suitable environment to test it on. Can someone with JDK 1.2 on Linux give this a try? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, May 12, 2001 12:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Bug 1729] New - Collections doesn't build with jdk1.2 javac http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1729 *** shadow/1729 Fri May 11 22:46:31 2001 --- shadow/1729.tmp.2699 Fri May 11 22:46:32 2001 *************** *** 0 **** --- 1,52 ---- + +=========================================================================== =+ + | Collections doesn't build with jdk1.2 javac | + +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -+ + | Bug #: 1729 Product: Commons | + | Status: NEW Version: Nightly Builds | + | Resolution: Platform: PC | + | Severity: Normal OS/Version: Linux | + | Priority: Medium Component: Collections | + +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -+ + | Assigned To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | + | Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | + | CC list: Cc: | + +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -+ + | URL: | + +=========================================================================== =+ + | DESCRIPTION | + Hi, + + Just tried building jakarta-commons/collections from CVS (12/5), and it doesn't + compile with Sun's 'javac' for linux: + + $ java -version + java version "1.2.2" + Classic VM (build JDK-1.2.2_007, green threads, nojit) + + $ ant clean ; ant + .... + build-java: + [mkdir] Created dir: + /home/jeff/apache/jakarta/jakarta-commons/collections/dist/classes + [javac] Compiling 26 source files to + /home/jeff/apache/jakarta/jakarta-commons/collections/dist/classes + [javac] + /home/jeff/apache/jakarta/jakarta-commons/collections/src/java/org/apache/co mmons/collections/FastTreeMap.java:325: + Inner type Entry in class java.util.TreeMap not accessible from class + org.apache.commons.collections.FastTreeMap. + [javac] Entry e = (Entry) i.next(); + [javac] ^ + [javac] + .... + BUILD FAILED + + + However, it *does* work if I set build.compiler=jikes.
