Hi all.

Does anyone know if one is allowed to initialize static final variables 
within the "try" clause of a static initializer block?

(eg.
        static final int x;
        static{
          try
            {
               x = 5;
            }
        catch(exception e)
           {...and so on ..}
)

I am working on a software project which has code like this. I am 
getting compile - time error messages which state that I am NOT allowed 
to fo this.   Are there some tricks one can use to "trick" the compiler.  
I am assuming that the code previously worked(?).  I am using 
jdk1.1.5-glibc.

Any assistance would be high ly appreciated.

Thank YOU!
