Re: [eclipse-dev] 3.1M4 build error

Philippe, you are right. As I have mentioned, one of the aim is to have a
single (1.5) jdk. But the problem is I can not understand the reason of the
error messages. I have looked at the classes-under-consideration-code
(FeatureWriter, XMLWriter, IPDEBuildConstants) and at the PrintWriter javadoc
and have not found anything criminal. So, I can suggest, it is javac error.
OTOH, it is not very probable. I'm in confusion :-(

Hi,

Have tried to get answer at the news group, the thread:

http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/article.php?group=eclipse.platform&id=%3Ccr3hu5%24qnq%241%40www.eclipse.org%3E


without any success.

The problem is: I'm trying to build the 3.1M4 (linux, gtk, sun jdk
1.5.0.01).
The errors take place:

What are my steps to resolve the problem? One of the aim is to have a
single (1.5) jdk.
Thanks!
