Martin, using the latest CVS checkout (5/3/2005) I was able to simply
run 'build.bat jar' and 'build.bat compile.examples' and everything
compile fine, but with some warnings.
I'm running:
java version "1.5.0_02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_02-b09)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_02-b09, mixed mode)
but dont think that will make a difference as long as its 1.5.
Also, it looks like .9.6 release missed the patch to get it to compile
on 1.5, but its a really easy fix. Just go in, open up
src\main\org\exolab\castor\persist\ClassMolder.java and make line
1102 match this
if ( (o1 instanceof java.math.BigDecimal) && ((java.math.BigDecimal)
o1).compareTo((java.math.BigDecimal)o2) == 0) {
Its a simple addition of casting, but apparently 1.5 is strict about it. =\
You will still get all the warnings, but those can be safely ignored.
Hope this helps!
