The patch looks good to me. If I understand correctly this may be because we’re bootstrapping with GCJ, which implements Java 1.5. You can see in the log that “javac” runs with “-source 1.5 -target 5”, which means that it assumes that the code is written in compliance with Java 1.5. Maybe this file simply is not valid Java 1.5. According to http://stackoverflow.com/a/8697805/519736 “@Override” is interpreted more strictly in 1.5. I don’t know much about Java and I haven’t looked at the sources in question, but I guess there are “@Override” annotations above the five method declarations. We might be able to just remove them. I think this should be reported to Andrew; looks like a bug as bootstrapping with GCJ should work for OpenJDK 6. ~~ Ricardo
