Anyhow I'm running jdk 5.0 here and log4j fails to compile because internally a variable enum is being used which also is a keyword since jdk 5.0. See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/language/enums.html or http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/relnotes/features.html#enums The fix is simple since the compile flags as suggested by the compiler or alter to code not to use enum as a veriable anymore. (There are more errors, all are alike but I copy pasted only the beginning and the end). >>> emerge (1 of 1) dev-java/log4j-1.2.8-r2 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) jakarta-log4j-1.2.8.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking jakarta-log4j-1.2.8.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/log4j-1.2.8-r2/work tar: A lone zero block at 17013 >>> Source unpacked.

that's not the only problem. i tried to add source and target attributes to the javac notes but it still failed. will try to figure out why this happens later.
Created attachment 44695 [details] A new ebuild has fixed the compilation on java 5.0 The basic packages of log4j 1.2.9 compile with java 5.0 with this ebuild. Unfortunately it now detects that jmx is in use even though I have -jmx in USE (the java 5.0 includes jmx) because the build.xml checks for the wrong class. I changed the ebuild to alter the build.xml so that the compilation of the jmx subpackage depends on internal sun classes that the code actually requires not on some generic jmx class that comes with the java 5.0.
not fixed with new ebuild. i tried with or without jmx flag, nothing changed. continues to be broken
no news? it locks lots of packages, eclipse too!
uu sorry! using: USE="-jikes -doc -javamail -jmx -jms" emerge log4j fixed the problem. ok :)
I can't get this packet to compile either...

I managed to successfully compile log4j-1.2.9 with JDK 1.5 by emerging JMX. It seems JMX has become a dependency instead of an optional package?

closing this one because all 'not working with jdk 1.5' are now tracked in #79206: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79206
