ecj 3.8 declares an additional method in the ICompilationUnit interface. This change broke the compatibility. > So what's the best way to solve this?

You can't depend on the version in stable, the goal is to build a set of packages that work together. You can't rely on an older revision of a package that is no longer available in the current distribution. The solution is to patch the tomcat6 package. You can look at the commons-jci and jasperreports packages which were also affected by this issue. The patch is trivial, and that's a good opportunity to learn quilt :) This issue has also been fixed upstream, so upgrading the package to the version 6.0.37 might be an alternative. https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54615 Emmanuel Bourg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
