The line containing, "second round of JPDA pampering" is a direct quote from
the Jikes 1.15 release notes. I suggest rather than jumping down someones
throat
who was only trying to be helpful you go and take a look for yourself.
>From the Jikes CVS, the 1.15 changelog contains the following entry:
2001-09-06 Russ Trotter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* src/bytecode.cpp (GenerateAccessMethod)
(GenerateClassAccessMethod): Second half of JPDA patches, to work
around bug in Sun's software - patch 119, from bugs 210, 473.
The description of the bugs can be found at the following URLs,
210:

roup_id=10
473:

Looking at the bugs fixes above their looks to be major improvement in JPDA
conformance, so although it may still not be 100% compliant, it's a step in
the write direction. I myself am in the process of trying it out to see if
it works
with JDE.
Besides, have you seen any other prudent software efforts, be it commercial
or open
source really guarantee to do something 100% ;-)
