Does any of them support the new language features of java 1.5? Sorry, this is probably a bit off topic. But on the other hand, if none of the free java compiler does support 1.5 yet, that is in fact a compatibility problem! BTW: If some of the free java compilers already support java 1.5, shouldn't the virtual package "java-compiler" be split up into "java-compiler-1-3", "java-compiler-1-4", "java-compiler-1-5" or likewise? Currently (in sarge) all the java compilers just provide "java-compiler". Regards, Michael Riedel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
