Hiya, at that point -- the ant builder run time preferences has a 'global entries' section which contains tools.jar for jdk 1.5. If I replace it with 1.3 it comes up with those errors (as its still looking for other libraries in 1.5 folder so there's a mix of java versions). Not sure how to change the others or get it to stop looking there. However, if I keep the same 1.5 tools.jar the program compiles with a warning:
94: warning: non-varargs call of varargs method with inexact argument type for last parameter; [javac] cast to java.lang.Object for a varargs call [javac] cast to java.lang.Object[] for a non-varargs call and to suppress this warning [javac] dbid = (String) m.invoke(cl, null); [javac] ^ [javac] Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API. [javac] Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details. [javac] Note: Some input files use unchecked or unsafe operations. [javac] Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details. [javac] 1 warning So basically its compiling to 1.5 instead of 1.3. Scot P. Floess wrote: > > OK I found your original email... It looks like you have a number of > problems...
