Re: [wtp-releng] Compile errors in org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.core?

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Larry for your quick investigation
and letting me know you could reproduce. 

I have (just) discovered that EMF has
(just) provided an M4a build, due to some "packaging" errors.
So .... there is a possibility that it is related to that ... though seems
unlikely. See 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=332474

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=332490

So ... first thing I'll try is switching
to that M4a version of EMF ... if we still get the compile errors there
I will open a bug. 

Thanks again,

David,
 
I can confirm that this is
a 3.7 compiler issue related somehow to the extending/implementing of interfaces.
 The same code compiles fine in my 3.6 development environment and
duplicates the compile errors in the 3.7 environment I just set up.  Unfortunately,
trying to understand how the EMF interfaces/classes are pieced together
has revealed how little I understand EMF at the moment.  The problem
classes appear to be EMF generated, so with my very limited knowledge of
EMF, I would not be able to supply a timely fix, other than to switch back
to the 3.6 compiler.

In the latest 3.3 build, there were
a number of "illegal cast" compile errors in org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.core.

Was this due to a change in org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.core? 

I ask because I am fairly sure all the pre-reqs were exactly the same as
previous build (where there were no compile errors) but I did change the
version of our "base builder" which (mostly) means previously
builds were compiled with a 3.6 based JDT compiler, but now are compiled
with a 3.7 M4 based compiler. Could there have been a change there to cause
this? Or a change in defaults ... former warnings now caught as errors?
  

Even though we do not have a "declared build" this week, I'd
appreciate understanding this issue quickly (EOD Wednesday?), to know if
we have a problem with our M4 deliverables ... or, if someone just casually
checked in some code with errors? 

Thanks,
