cannot resolve symbol when overriding method.

[Sébastien Annedouche]

Hi all,
I'm new to Ant and I've found something I can't understand while trying 
to compile one of my projects.

Take a look at the following Dummy class. It has a silly method 'foo' 
which returns an instance of an anonymous class extending 
ObjectInputStream and overriding one of its protected methods :

   /import java.io.ObjectInputStream;/
   //
   /// uncomment to make ant happy/
   ////
   ///import java.io.IOException;/
   ///import java.io.StreamCorruptedException;/
   //
   /public class Dummy {/
   /  public Dummy() {/
   /  }/
   //
   /  protected Object foo() throws Exception {/
   /    return new ObjectInputStream(null) {/
   /      protected void readStreamHeader() {/
   /      }/
   /    };/
   /  }/
   /}/
I've got the following error :
   [javac] <path>\Dummy.java:14: cannot resolve symbol
   [javac] symbol: class IOException 
   [javac]       protected void readStreamHeader() {

If I uncomment the imports quoted "uncomment to make ant happy", it works.
This class doesn't compile if the 2 exceptions thrown by the overriden 
method are not imported in the class file.

Isn't it an ant bug ? Is there anything to do to prevent ant from 
failing with such a code ?

Thanks,
Sebastien
