about it but it's not important now.
That's not a bug in the JDK!
Wish I had an instinctive feel for these situations. I'll look at the
code you referenced; lots of exposure (maybe along with some pain) is
usually my best path to groking.
sigtest failed, and it was fixed by modifying sigtest.
Depends why sigtest fails. In this case, because it doesn't list
bridge methods.
Imagine the new method had been added explicitly with the old one.
Sigtest would be fine. Your code linked against it would still have
the same issues on older versions of NetBeans.
The biggest problem for me is that it is a run time failure. Can you
suggest some way, perhaps a sigtest ripoff that checks some
source/jar/nbm against sigs from a list of NetBeans releases, that I can
work with to put together something to find such problems with static
analysis?
to support a feature which is only available in a newer NB
version while also be able to run on older NB versions,
Wasn't using nb-javac to compile NetBeans supposed to make it easier to
put that kind of thing together?
I can't see any way that makes the situation any different.
Yes, the situation, /The plugin has a potentially serious problem/, is
the same. I've worked hard to have a reliable plugin (it's an editor, it
has to be). Now I understand there may be ticking time bombs scattered
around. So now I'm considering solutions, and if I understand (and I may
not), using nb-javac to build NetBeans (as was recently suggested)
better supports setting up an nbm that reliably runs run multiple
versions. Or did you mean something different?
