Description Maan Bsat 2007-10-14 14:41:26 UTC

java-config-2.1.2's EnvironmentManager.py uses a Try..Catch..Finally statement (around lines 35-39), which is not allowed in Python 2.4 and lower. Therefore, the code should either be changed, or version 2.1.2 should be made to depend on Python 2.5.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have Python 2.4.x or lower installed.
2. Emerge or run java-config-2 from java-config-2.1.2

Actual Results:  
SyntaxError exception occurs in EnvironmentManager.py

Expected Results:  
Run smoothly :)

Thanks for the bug report, 2.1.2-r1 is a patch release to fix this issue.  Should already be sync'able
