javac fails intermittently

[Richard Rodrigues]

Hi,

 

Sorry if this has been posted earlier.

My ant build runs into the following problem often.

The funny part is if I run the build again it works without a hitch.

 

 

    [javac] An exception has occurred in the compiler (1.3.0). Please file a bug
 at the Java Developer Connection (http://java.sun.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi).
Include your program and the following diagnostic in your report.  Thank you.

Am I missing something or is there a workaround?

Is this related to javac not releasing locks?

 

Regards,

Richard.
