I belive that code was copied from xml-commons to the xalan tree recently. Shane can probably give more info. You are correct, the code will not _compile_ under JDK 1.1.x because of the reason you cite. However, it was specificially designed to _run_ on both JDK 1.1.x and Java 2 VMs. In particular, it runs in both IE5 and NS4.7 native VMs and so runs in applets. The code also works correctly when included as part of a Java 2 core library which is loaded by the bootstrap classloader. > [snip] > > Until both issues are fixed, I don't think we'll either compile or run > reliably under JDK1.1.

How important is being able to compile on JDK 1.1.x to you? IMO being able to run in 1.1.x is enough. > ------------------------------------------- > > Related problem: org\xml\sax\helpers\parserAdapter wass using the JDK 1.2 > Collections methods add() and get() on a Vector.

This bug affects being able to _run_ in JDK 1.1.x also. -Edwin --------------------------------------------------------------------- In case of troubles, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
