Tried to update jline on my system to version 0.9.9-r1 and the build failed compile: [mkdir] Created dir: /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/jline-0.9.91/work/jline-0.9.91/src/target/classes [javac] Compiling 21 source files to /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/jline-0.9.91/work/jline-0.9.91/src/target/classes [javac] /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/jline-0.9.91/work/jline-0.9.91/src/src/main/java/jline/Terminal.java:11: package com.sun.jmx.snmp does not exist [javac] import com.sun.jmx.snmp.ThreadContext; [javac] ^ [javac] /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/jline-0.9.91/work/jline-0.9.91/src/src/main/java/jline/ConsoleReader.java:670: warning: plainTextFlavor in java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor has been deprecated [javac] .getTransferData(DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor); [javac] ^ [javac] 1 error [javac] 1 warning BUILD FAILED /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/jline-0.9.91/work/jline-0.9.91/src/build.xml:52: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details. I then opened up that file: jline-0.9.91/src/src/main/java/jline/Terminal.java and noticed that the class being imported isn't even used in the file. I deleted that line and it built fine. Not sure if this is just missing a dependancy or what but its obviously not actually needed.

You should have posted the complete error, including the important information about GENTOO_VM, COMPILER etc that it produces when it fails.
ok here it is: !!! ERROR: dev-java/jline-0.9.91 failed.

OK, did a little research about the package com.sun.jmx.snmp - ibm/sun/blackdown jdk 1.4 doesn't have it - ibm and sun jdk 1.5 has it (assuming 1.6 has it too) - so it's not sun-specific but 1.5+ specific - it's not part of dev-java/sun-jmx (and there's no newer version than we package, nor it's part of jmx-remote we don't package) - snmp seems to be covered by jsr174 where the reference implementation is sun jdk 1.5 and I didn't find any other jline page says it needs 1.2+ jdk while this clearly contradicts it... not sure what a console input library needs snmp for
(In reply to comment #3) ... not sure > what a console input library needs snmp for And as far as I can tell it doesn't since that package isn't actually used anywhere in the code, just that import statement but the class is seriously never used. I think it was a bad commit by a developer or something.
Ah I see, it's imported but not used at all. Fixed in CVS via patch that removes the import and reported upstream. Thanks for reporting.
