Confirmed it won't compile with oracle-jdk-bin-1.7. I used icedtea-bin-6 as my system-vm and it worked.

I see the same.

[Comment 9 Tamas Jantvik 2013-12-17 07:33:28 UTC]

Is there a way of setting the java compiler to icedtea for the packages that oracle-jdk fails to compile? And I mean, in a config file, not manually changing compiler before the emerge.

The same problem exists with dev-java/commons-el-1.0-r2, right?

I also experienced this bug today.  I have icedtea-bin-7 set as my java-vm system default, and it does not work.  Setting java-vm to icedtea-bin-6 worked for me, just as you say.

Seems like the package is Java7 incompatible?
It does not compile with Oracle Java 7 either.

cono, searching for the bug by ID yielded no results for me.

Yeah, looks like they put my request to devnull

Is there any update for this issue? Getting the same Error when emerging freemind-0.9.0-r1. I'm using stable oracle-jdk-bin-1.7.0.51-r1.

[Comment 15 cel.gentoo 2014-03-05 10:21:46 UTC]

New stable version dev-java/javacc-5.0-r1 appears to fix this bug.
