"unexpected end of file" build error [message #46452]

When I'm compiling my project, I get several hundred "unexpected end of
file" build errors. The reason this is coming up is because at the end
of the classes, there is CVS specific information which is commented
out. For some reason, the compiler does not like this information being
there if it isn't trailed with a return character so that there is one
blank line at the end of the document. Here's some explamples:

Doesn't Work(the error will appear on the last line):
===START OF FILE
public class MyClass{

}
//Revision 1.1 Added class to CVS
===END OF FILE

Works Fine: (note the empty line before End of File)
===START OF FILE
public class MyClass{

}
//Revision 1.1 Added class to CVS

===END OF FILE

Any clues on how I can get the compiler to ignore this kind of stuff?

thanks,

-Dennis

Forgot to mention that this only happens in "compiler compliance level" for
jdk 1.4. I need jdk 1.4 compliance for asserts we're using.

I would post this to eclipse.tools where the compiler committers are much
more likely to address the issue.

I believe Java 1.4 changed the spec to say that a comment can't end with
EOF. So you need a newline at the end of the comment. I don't know if
there's a compiler switch to revert back to the 1.3 style.
