Hi all!
Recently I've found out that our classlib is not buildable with the
common javac's. I've tested with SUN and Bea ones, and the result was
negative. The log is :

It seems that there is a bug in Eclipse compiler. If we bring the
second situation to the simplier one there will be a small testcase
here :

These sources are successfully compiled by ejc.jar, but cause the
compile-time error with SUN or BEA javac -
(because they are the same, IIRC)

The question is: Is such situation applicable for Harmony? If no -
should we file a bug against Eclipse compiler?
Yes, I think we should file a bug, but more importantly, I'm not
comfortable with being unable to build with javac - which javac were ou
testing with? There was a bug in Javac a while back, which is why we
switched over to use ECJ, IIRC.
If this is the case - that it's reflective of a bug in Javac - then we
should probably simply note which versions of sun javac to avoid.
