Thread: BUG #1168: JDBC compile fails using Java 1.5.0-beta2

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      1168
Logged by:          Gavin Flower

Email address:      gavin353@eircom.net

PostgreSQL version: 7.4

Operating system:   Linux

Description:        JDBC compile fails using Java 1.5.0-beta2

Details:

I just downloaded PostgreSQL 7.4.3 and attempted to "make" it with the
option to create JDBC drivers.

I get error messages when using j2sdk1.5b2, however it compiles successfully
using j2sdk1.4.2_04.

I had the same problem with PostgreSQL 7.4.2.

While I don't expect PostgreSQL 7.4.x to take advantage of the features of
Java 1.5 at this stage, I think it is reasonable to expect it to compile.

(Hopefully, PostgreSQL 7.5 will be implemented to benefit from at least some
of the improvements in Java 1.5!)

7.4.3 builds fine for me with the 1.5 JDK.  Between 7.4.2 and 7.4.3 I did
make this change:

revision 1.36.2.2
date: 2004/04/26 08:28:32;  author: jurka;  state: Exp;  lines: +4 -1
Update the build.xml file to support building with the new 1.5 jdk
and ant 1.6.

Could you be more specific with the version of ant you are using and the
compile error you received?

Actually it builds with the first beta, but now that I've installed beta2
I'm getting failures, will look into it.
