Description pzajac 2000-12-01 16:43:28 UTC 
I don't know when was set Compiler of java sources to default.
After change type of compiler compilation was done without problems.
It is better check compiler type before compilation.

Comment 1 Svata Dedic 2000-12-05 07:51:59 UTC 
I bet you have installed a new build with no symlink to the fastjavac so it was
removed from Compiler Types during startup although still set as Default
Compiler. Similar bug is being solved as #8759
Comment 2 Svata Dedic 2001-01-22 08:27:59 UTC 
I could not reproduce the problem; it is possible that there was some bug, but
was fixed when solving other problems. Please reopen the bug, if you encounter
the behaviour again.
Comment 3 pzajac 2002-10-11 13:57:45 UTC 
verified.
Comment 4 Quality Engineering 2003-07-01 13:20:49 UTC 
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
