Hi Ito, salut Guilhem,

I've tried to update kaffe-extras to 1.1.3 and ant 1.6.0, and after 
spending some time revisiting the ant bootstrap script, I failed due 
to what seems to be a compiler bug in kjc.

Hi Dalibor !

I've managed to isolate the bug with the attached code. It is noticeable 
that we should put the 'try {} catch' block in the static initializer to 
get the buggy behaviour. If you put the same code in main the 
compilation will be successful.

Cheers,
