Sorry in advance if this is a known issue - but I couldn't seem to find it by searching the list.
While trying to compile some cactus test classes via Ant using cactus 1.8.0 with java 1.4 I would get the following error: [javac] An exception has occurred in the compiler (1.4.2_18). Please file a bug at the Java Developer Connection ( http://java.sun.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi) after checking the Bug Parade for duplicates. Include your program and the following diagnostic in your report. Thank you. [javac] java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1951436875 [javac] at com.sun.tools.javac.v8.code.ClassReader.nextInt(ClassReader.java:335) [javac] at com.sun.tools.javac.v8.code.ClassReader.skipMember(ClassReader.java:820) [javac] at com.sun.tools.javac.v8.code.ClassReader.readClass(ClassReader.java:861) ... This error would not occur if I just did a 'Clean' in eclipse or was using a higher version of java (1.6). After a bit of investigation, it turns out that the cactus.core.framework.uberjar.javaEE.14-1.8.0-orig.jar file has a bunch of duplicate class files within the same package (e.g. org/apache/cactus/server/ServletTestRedirector). If I remove the smaller duplicate class files, the compilation completes in 1.4. Am I missing something or is this a problem with the release? Thanks! -- zachary mcmahon zmcma...@gmail.com
