Hi Alan,
Look here:
import javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter;
public class Test {
public static void main(String... args) throws Exception {
DatatypeConverter.parseBoolean("true");
}
}
$ javac Test.java
Test.java:1: error: package javax.xml.bind does not exist
import javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter;
^
Test.java:5: error: cannot find symbol
DatatypeConverter.parseBoolean("true");
^
symbol: variable DatatypeConverter
location: class Test
2 errors
$ javac -source 8 -target 8 Test.java
warning: [options] bootstrap class path not set in conjunction with -source 1.8
1 warning
Of course it also passes with -release 8, but thats very clear, because it uses
ct.sym of older version.
