I know about that but it's impossible to fix the source for every buggy jdk
out there and this is a jdk bug. I don't have to cast a literal char to byte
if the value is in range. See the java language reference chapter 5.2.

> Example:
> static final byte endobj[] = {'e','n','d','o','b','j'};
>
> // the code above throws a compiler error because you need to
> explicitly cast to a byte!

> static final byte endobj[] =
> {(byte)'e',(byte)'n',(byte)'d',(byte)'o',(byte)'b',(byte)'j'};
>
> // the above code compiles and runs just fine under all OS and VM!

> 2. com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfEncodings.java
> 3. com.lowagie.text.pdf.ByteBuffer
