Description Wayne 2005-03-26 07:48:35 UTC

hi all

The warnings after emerging sun-java-1.5 mention that enum won't work because of an argument being passed to it. 

1) Can anyone please tell me how to view this message again without re-emerging the package.
2) Can I fix this problem? enum was the only reason for my upgrade to 1.5..

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Be careful: ${P}'s Java compiler uses
'-source 1.5' as default. Some keywords such as 'enum'
are not valid identifiers any more in that mode,
which can cause incompatibility with certain sources.


it just means that enum is now a keyword, used by java. -source 1.5 is implied, i.e. the default. be carefull, 1.5 breaks things. that's the reason why it's hardmasked at the moment.

Thanks, turns out the problem was with eclipse.
