Re: Java 1.7 compiler issue

Hi,

Sure understand that, but as I said looking at the code it seems to do the 
right thing ie can return 0,1 or -1 as required, obviously there something 
subtle in there.

It might be this section:
                    CompilationUnit swcScript1CompilationUnit = 
swcScript1.getCompilationUnit();
                    CompilationUnit swcScript2CompilationUnit = 
swcScript2.getCompilationUnit();

                    if (swcScript1CompilationUnit != null)
                    {
                        if (swcScript1CompilationUnit.hasTypeInfo)
                        {
                            return -1;
                        }
                    }
                    else if (swcScript2CompilationUnit != null)
                    {
                        if (swcScript2CompilationUnit.hasTypeInfo)
                        {
                            return 1;
                        }
                    }

If swcScript1 == swcScript2 then that could possibly return -1 rather than the 
expected 0?

Do we have a test case that we can reliable reproduce the issue?

Thanks,
Justin
