I don't have the exact error message, but the situation was this: one of our programmers likes to code everything with generics. The compile problem in question involved a class using generics with an internal class also using generics (i.e.
Public class foo <Source, Output> { Static public class fooNode <SourceType, OutputType> { Blah blah... } } So the compiler spits out a foo.class and foo$fooNode.class. When ant tries to compile the junit test for the class using javac, using the class files generated by eclipse, it throws a javac error referencing foo$fooNode.class saying that there's no definition for "Source" (which the subclass doesn't reference) and that foo$fooNode.class is a "bad class file" so the junit test can't compile. When I delete all the .class files made by eclipse and have ant build them all, I don't get the error.

If you have the exact error message I would search the javac and Eclipse bug database and see if it is a known problem (with potential workaround) HTH Darins "Mark Modrall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 09/29/2006 12:33 PM Please respond to "Ant Users List" To "Ant Users List" <user@ant.apache.org> cc Subject RE: ant and eclipse? I found the Java Compiler section of the Properties dialog, but as I say it doesn't help clarify why the .class files it produces are incompatible with the jdk javac ones. Our eclipse project has Compiler compliance level: 5.0 Use default compliance settings Classfile generation: Add variable attributes to generated class files Add line number attributes to generated classfiles Add source file name to generated class file Preserve unused local variables Our ant <javac> task ends up using Jdk1.5.0_06\javac -deprecation -d <output path> -g *.java As I say, the net result is that the eclipse .class files won't work with the javac ones but I'm at a loss to figure out which options are creating the incompatibility.

Each Java Project in Eclipse has a JVM assigned to the project. If you right-click the project name and select properties you can find it in there.
