Can't say that I've ever seen this onbe.

What version of Java (ie, which JDK) are you using to try and build this? It's
not 1.5 perchance?

Yes, java version was 1.5. I thought that gcj use flag means to use gcj to build
the lib... Anyway I have tryed also with 1.4 series and I get this different error:

This means that some of the files were compiled using java 1.5 mode and the 
rest are being compiled using 1.4. There are two solutions. One is to recompile 
everything using the 1.4 compiler. The other is to try j2se 1.5 update 3. The 
javadoc problem initially reported was a bug that I think was fixed in update 
3. Please let us know if you manage to solve your problem. 

I updated java to 1.5.0.03 and I get the same error that I got with 1.5.0.02.
Maybe tomorrow I'll try to recompile everything with 1.4 series.

*** Bug 304194 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

As with anything from Sun that is x.y.0, Java 1.5.0 is still pretty beta. There
are enormous problems with class compatibility up and down the stack. I would
recommend sticking with Java 1.4 if you want a stable usable system.

(if you read the gentoo-java@gentoo.org mailing list archive for the last few
monts, you'll see the ongoing efforts to try and beat Java 1.5 into some
semblance of sanity. It's not going very well).

As far as I can tell, none of the java-gnome hackers (regardless of OS) are
having much luck with Java 1.5, but certainly with respect to the Gentoo
ebuilds, you should use Sun (or IBM) Java 1.4.2, or GCJ-4.0 (which is more or
less Java 1.4.2 equivalent).

Hi,

This is the javadoc bug that was causing the problem:

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5082928

From the information there, I was able to find the area in libgnome-java that
was triggering it. Fixed in 2-10 branch and HEAD. Please re-open if you still
see the problem.

Thanks for reporting this.

P.S. re: comment #6, I have used Java 5 without problems and it's misleading to
call it a x.y.0 release as three updates have been released already. These
updates are all that Sun is going to release for Java 5. They do not intend to
have a 1.5.1 (or 5.1) release at all (apart from the updates, 6.0 is next).
Having said that, the recommendation to use gcj is definitely a good one. :)

This is marked fixed...but will libgnome-java 2.10.2 ever be released (or at
least the patch attached to this bug)?
