This problem relates to the internal compiler, but it is not listed in issuezilla, and the subcomponent is mandated The internal compiler is based on the version 1.4.0 compiler. There 1.4.1 compiler fixed several bugs, which are still in the internal compiler. They should be brought back into step Ideally the programatic entry point to the javac should be used to allow the internal compiler (or a new compiler type) to be used that would track the latest compiler, in the current or some specified jdk see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/changes.html for details of the changes.
NB now uses the most current javac.
