http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22705 ant 1.6alpha (and possibly earlier) requires JDK 1.4 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-08-25 20:25 ------- % ant -version Apache Ant version 1.6alpha compiled on April 25 2003 % % java version "1.3.1_07" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_07-b02) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_07-b02, mixed mode) In response to Dominique's comment, yes StringBuffer#append(Object) does exist, but if ant was compiled under JDK 1.4, the compiler would have resolved the call on line 123 to StringBuffer#append(StringBuffer). If the result is then run against JDK 1.3.x, and the latter method cannot be located, I don't believe that the runtime will fall back to using the more generic method (someone with more detailed Java knowledge than mine may want to correct me here). I've run a simple test case that seems to confirm this. I'm not sure why the name of the missing method is not being printed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
