Bug 84770 – Patch to compile DB 3.2.9 against Java 5 (1.5)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Justin Clark 2005-03-10 11:07:57 UTC]

The file db-3.2.9/java/src/com/sleepycat/db/DbEnv.java uses 'enum' as a variable name. As of java 1.5 enum is a keyword. The patch simply renames the variable.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install a Java 1.5 sdk
2.emerge db-3.2.9.*

Java guys. What do you think I should do. I know this fix is correct in formal sense, but what is the stance of the java team about it?

if it works, maybe simply apply it. do you want us to do it?

Thanks, I've just committed a new version of the ebuild with the patch applied.
