http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34138 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-03-24 14:36 ------- I dont think we should try and be clever and automatically do the right thing, as that can generate bad support calls. Example: javac & jikes pull in classes to compile on demand, kjc doesnt. If I write a build file that relys on this, it will fail on kjc machines; the author of the build file gets a non-replicable support call. But if the runner of the failing build file had to set some switch to use kjc, they should know that and provide the info, maybe even a fix. Better to make it easier for anyone to override the compiler, even if the author of the build file neglected any way to make this easy. And yes, jikes is my compiler of choice, 'cept for fancy Java1.5 stuff, and as soon as jikes does templates, I move back there too. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
