Description Murray Cumming 2009-07-04 10:40:06 UTC 
I'm getting this compiler error:

----------
1. ERROR in provider.java (at line 121)
	private HashMap<String,Savepoint> svp_map = new HashMap<String,Savepoint>();
	                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Syntax error, parameterized types are only available if source level is 1.5


I guess that configure should have checked for that.
Comment 1 malerba 2009-07-05 12:21:46 UTC 
The configure.in script has been modified to check for a javac version >= 1.5, can you check with git master?

Unfortunately I still have the same build error. I have attached config.log in case that helps.

It looks like you're using GCJ, could you attach the result of:
/usr/bin/javac -version

> could you attach the result of: /usr/bin/javac -version

$ /usr/bin/javac -version

With the correction in git master, it should now be OK.
Comment 6 Murray Cumming 2009-08-19 20:45:54 UTC 
Yes, I have not seen this problem recently. Thanks.
