after log4j unlock i tried to emerge eclipse but bcel failed. always with jdk 5.0!
I do not understand the problem. Please state your problem clearly and completely so that may attempt to reproduce it. In particular, list the versions of the packages involved, and all pertaining error messages.
sorry, i haven't my notebook so i can't try again: infos: jdk 5.0 trying to compile it gives errors, the "usual ones" like enum and so on... and compilation fails. i searched for a newer version, but seems 5.1 is the lastest. patch needed so.
Presumably, the build.xml needs to be patched with source/target=1.4 (or older).
found a solution. a) USE="-jikes" or will create so many errors. b) search the sources for "Deprecated" class. it's in 2 files only. Pass2verifier and String[...] i don't remember exactly...i did the patch on a friend's pc. changed the Deprecated class into "org.apache.bcel.classfile.Deprecated" and it will compile good. should be 5 occorrences only. i did manually and so i can't provide a patch. (of course this is for jdk 5.0, but will work with older versons too. it's due to java.lang.Deprecated class, so Deprecated will be ambigous). please apply asap.
Created attachment 46350 [details] bcel-5.1.ebuild a new ebuild which doesnt make use of the CLASSPATH=foo... thing. i've also done some other cleanups and the most important it applies two patches.
Created attachment 46351 [details, diff] bcel-5.1-gentoo-buildxml.diff this patch adds source and target attributes to the javac nodes and adds a reference to ${regexp.jar} to the build.xml. by doing it this way we can simply add regexp.jar=... to the build.properties file inside of the ebuild.
Created attachment 46352 [details, diff] bcel-5.1-gentoo-src.diff patches the source code to get rid of the errors which prevented bcel from being build using jdk 1.5
Created attachment 46354 [details] bcel-5.1.ebuild fixed a dependendy error
Fixed. No revdump done.
