Hi, when configuring classpath with --with-ecj=something there is still a test being run to check whether 'javac' exists and whether it is Java5 compatible.
I think the correct behavior would be:
a) test whether the supplied command (may ecj or whathever) is available
b) test whether this executable can compile Java5 code
There should be no test for other compilers if I explicitly provide one.
Additionally the current test for Java5 compatibility is IMHO wrong. To
compile Java5 code one needs a suitable compiler and class library. If a
Java5-capable compiler is running on a pre-Java5 class library (e.g. ecj
on gcj 4.2.1) the current test fails.
A better test would IMHO be to compile the following source:
package java.lang;
public class Object
{
static <T> void foo()
{
}
}
with
<javac-to-be-tested> -source 1.5 -bootclasspath . -d . java/lang/Object.java
and check the results.
File some bugs?
Regards
Robert
