Bug#351076: ant: Java illegalAccess exception with the kaffee compiled version

[Wolfgang Baer]

severity 351076 normal
thanks


Hi Akos,

this is not grave if it fails for one type of build file, therefore
lowered severity to normal. ant is used here in almost all the package builds
and no build failed because of the new upload.

Have you explicitly checked with 1.6.5-3 ?
Checking with 1.6.2 does not mean it worked up to 1.6.5-3.

The difference is its compiled with ecj - it was already compiled with kaffe
a longer time (just with jikes).

Maybe ecj produces for this special case wrong bytecode. This needs to be
investigated. I will rebuild with jikes to see what happens.
