Compiling with jdk 1.1.8 javac Options

[prun769]

Has anyone had any luck compiling on their Z using the jdk 1.1.8 javac? I have it all set up using the jeode evm and the sun classes.zip. For command line programs it compiles great. When I try to compile an AWT program however, it throws an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when attempting to load java.awt.GridBagLayout.

Out of curiousity, I compiled it using the wintel jdk 1.1.8 and it compiled fine. I tried both the windows and and solaris classes.zip, and both give the same behavior. I also tried including the classes.zip before the jeode jars in the classpath , and the only difference is that I get a ClassCastException instead.

I've switched to jikes in the meantime, but I was wondering if anyone actually got this to work on an awt program.

prun769,

I used jikes (version 1.15) to compile HelloPP.java without any error. Hence it worked when I used evm to activate.


stupkid,

Please englighten where we could download jikes 1.3.1 for Zaurus.

Well, the latest Jikes is 1.22 -- but with the Jikes v1.15 you have you can do just about anything that you could expect a java compiler to do on the Z. It is the new classes from JDK 1.2 through 1.5 that one is going to have trouble with, and that is not a problem of the compiler.

I am not planning to compile up Jikes 1.22 unless someone can think of an advantage to that over v1.15 (or 1.18 which I have seen available for ARM). You can still download Jikes 1.15 from my tools website http://FoxFrenchTranslations.com/zaurus.
