PostgreSQL version: 7.4
Operating system: Linux
Description: JDBC compile fails using Java 1.5.0-beta2
Details:
I just downloaded PostgreSQL 7.4.3 and attempted to "make" it with the
option to create JDBC drivers.
I get error messages when using j2sdk1.5b2, however it compiles successfully
using j2sdk1.4.2_04.
I had the same problem with PostgreSQL 7.4.2.
While I don't expect PostgreSQL 7.4.x to take advantage of the features of
Java 1.5 at this stage, I think it is reasonable to expect it to compile.
(Hopefully, PostgreSQL 7.5 will be implemented to benefit from at least some
of the improvements in Java 1.5!)
