Broken CVS sources?

[Andreas Rueckert]

Hi!

I'm having a bit trouble with the current CVS sources. Could it be that they
are a bit broken?
There are methods like 
=======================================
/**
   * Creates an empty String (length 0)
   */
  public String() {
    value = new char[0];

    val
  }  
=======================================

that jikes doesn't like. Did I overlook something?

Ciao,
Andreas
