Although I did a compile using Java 1.5.0_03 on Windows prior to the last release, the visad.jar file contains .class files compiled with 1.4.2 (using the "-target 1.2" option). Having said that, perhaps you should remove the "-target 1.2" from the Makefile, since the 1.5 javac obviously is unhappy with it.

Hi Tom,

I'm attempting to build this on a linux machine (RedHat WS3).  When I
build VisAD with anything <= java 1.4.2 it builds fine.  If I remove the
"-target 1.2" from the JFLAGS line in the Makefile, I get the following
(repeated):


DisplayImpl.java:2222: as of release 1.5, 'enum' is a keyword, and may
not be used as an identifier
(try -source 1.4 or lower to use 'enum' as an identifier)
    Enumeration enum = ControlVector.elements();
                ^

and none of the .class files are built.


Additionally, I get the follwing error:

Irregular2DSet.java:30: warning: unmappable character for encoding UTF8
 * <P>{@link IrregularSet} for a finite number of samples of R�.</P>
                                                             ^

/home/kmanross/OldHomeDir/VisAD is actually /mnt/home/kmanross/VisAD/

I managed to compile visad with jdk 1.5.0_03 by using the following JFLAGS:

(you might add -target 1.2, too, if you like)

Thanks, Dr. Klein!!

javac -J-mx256m -source 1.2 -g *.java

(try -source 1.5 to use 'enum' as a keyword)
    Enumeration enum = ControlVector.elements();
                ^

And I still get many warnings like this:

Irregular2DSet.java:30: warning: unmappable character for encoding UTF8
 * <P>{@link IrregularSet} for a finite number of samples of R�.</P>
                                                              ^

-kevin.
