Re: Long shot on a IllegalAccessError

I DID see this once, even in my Windows environment, but it seemed to
stem from a mismatch in Birt versions. I have checked and rechecked the
jars and both environments seem to match. Unless the jars are cached
somewhere on the i, I don't think a version mismatch is the issue.

From the javadoc:
===

Thrown if an application attempts to access or modify a field, or to call a method that it does not have access to.

Normally, this error is caught by the compiler; this error can only occur at run time if the definition of a class has incompatibly changed.

In your situation that _could_ make sense as the i JVM caches some of the work hidden with the jar file in the IFS. I have seen that overwriting the contents of a jar file did not remove that work. I would start with removing the birt jar completely from the ifs and copy it in again.

On second thought. Do it with all your jars :)

I could use *any* ideas you might have. I don't quite understand what
is being accessed illegally here. Not much in the Birt method
ExtensionManager.initialize() to go on.

I've also seen it happen with reflection I think. Nasty one there.
