sab39 ... Japi Feet

10/28/2006

Well, the Arrays bug is fixed and should be in tonight's Japi run, unless I messed up another fix for the "-p" flag. But I can't figure out what's up with DefaultTextUI. When I Japize it with the JDK on Windows it works fine, but with gcj on Ubuntu I get this with the latest cvs japitools:

sballard@tinian:~/japitest$ wget http://builder.classpath.org/dist/glibj-generics-latest.zip
[...]
sballard@tinian:~/japitest$ japize unzip as dtui packages glibj-generics-latest.zip =javax.swing.text
...

The fact that this works on the JDK suggests it's not a ClassFile bug as I originally thought. But I'm not sure what kind of bug it is. Does gcj have known issues in java.util.zip? And why would they trigger on this file only?

GCJ is strange

Maybe the fact that this class is empty and unused shoots in the foot here? GCJ is strange in a couple of places. Maybe it works with a classpath-generics build with a different compiler?

Well...

Upgrading to edgy seems to have fixed it.

AFAIK since the untimely demise of gcjx there *is* only the one Free compiler that can build -generics, and that's ecj. But since the JDK could process the exact same zip file with no problems, I didn't think that could be it.

Anyway since it's fixed I'm not going to worry any further on the subject :)
