From

When attempting to build JDBC 7.0 driver with "make jdbc2 jar", the following
error occurs:

    org.postgresql.Connection.java: Can't find class org/postgresql/Field

Any ideas?  Thanks.

I encountered this error when using an older JDK ( < 1.2 )

Downloading 1.2.2 from Sun sorted the problem...

( If you have both installed, watch out for the order the occur in your
path.... )

I think the problem is using kaffe.  I downloaded the jdbc binary from
Peter's web site at:

    http://www.retep.org.uk

and that worked with kaffe.  Seems kaffe can not handle dependencies
properly.

Well, yeah. "make jdbc2" won't work with kaffe, since it is java 1.1

Yes, kaffe cannot handle compiling two classes that refer to each other
(while all other implementations can, and it's part of the java language
specification).

I've just put up a pre-compiled binary for Java2 only based on the current
sources, as some people have been asking for it.

Current sources means the current released source or the current cvs
source?

Yes, that is exactly what I found, and reported it to kaffe group.
