Although I did a compile using Java 1.5.0_03 on Windows prior to the

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>
^

We use an LDAP system here, so my local hard drive is actually mounted
off my LDAP space. "OldHomeDir" is a soft link
/home/kmanross/OldHomeDir/VisAD is actually /mnt/home/kmanross/VisAD/
I'm not sure why the rmic is using the soft link when everything else is
using the absolute path.

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

Thanks, Dr. Klein!!
If I do use the "source" flag instead of the "target" flag, it does
compile, however I get a bunch of warnings about using "enum" as an
identifier:
javac -J-mx256m -source 1.2 -g *.java
DisplayImpl.java:2222: warning: as of release 1.5, 'enum' is a keyword,
and may not be used as an identifier
(try -source 1.5 to use 'enum' as a keyword)
Enumeration enum = ControlVector.elements();
^
(FWIW, it also successfully compiles with "-source 1.4", but with the
same warnings)
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>
^
I hope this is useful to others. Please let me know if I can provide
and more info. Thanks again for the help!!
