Description Martin Vysny 2004-11-21 02:48:36 UTC

When emerging sys-libs/db with USE="java" (I have sun-jdk-1.5.0) javac stops complaining that a variable cannot be named 'enum' because it is a keyword in java 1.5.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. make sure that sun-jdk-1.5.0 is installed and it is being used.
2. USE="java" emerge sys-libs/db

Actual Results:  
javac shows compile errors.


you should add the '-source=1.4' switch to the javac command line, to force
.java source compatibility with java 1.4, where enum was not keyword. Even
better is to use -source=1.3 because this is the default value for all javac
prior 1.5.

which version of sys-libs/db?

Comment 2 Martin Vysny 2004-11-21 05:40:35 UTC

sys-libs/db-4.1.25_p1-r3. I already have it installed, but without java support.

I just added a patch in cvs that renames the symbol so it compiles fine with jdk-1.5
