Re: HEAD compile problem with JDK 1.3

Java 1.3 didn't recognize the identifier LeaderPattern, perhaps there was a change between 1.3 and 1.4 regarding access to nested interfaces by implementing classes. Anyway, what's the point of having the constants both in the Constants interface and nested interfaces? I'm confused. [buildfile] Well, now that the FOP website is generated by Forrest, the various html-* targets could be removed, couldn't they? J.Pietschmann

I originally wanted to retain it just to make the code better self-documenting. One can see the constants relevant for each property that one is coding with, and code with less concern of coding a constant outside the allowed set of constant values for the property. But now that I think more about it, the spec already takes care of the former concern, and as for the latter problem, whenever it occurs, it would just a bug to be identified and removed. It would not be the end of the world. So I now tend to agree with removing those nested interfaces in the Constants class. Any objections?

[javac] case LeaderPattern.SPACE: [javac] ^ Surprisingly, the very same workarea compiles fine after a clean and using Java 1.4.2_03. There is no file LeaderPattern.java in the source tree, No--I think it is that Leader, by being a subclass of FObj, implements the Constants interface, which has a (class?) called LeaderPattern.

BTW the buildfile could use some de-cruftification too (remove the gensrc/.../properties stuff and a few now meaningless subtitutions) Ja, das ist eine gute Idee. Bitte dekruften Sie der Build-Datei.
