Title: JAVAC under JDK 1.3 doesn't work

Hi,

I recently installed the JDK 1.3 (Licensed Program 5769JV1 option 5) on our V4R5 box. We are running with Cumulative PTF C110450 and Java group PTF SF99068-04 dated 03/02/01.

JAVAC does not work under JDK 1.3 - I get "cannot resolve symbol" errors on every line, for example, on a simple hello world program:

                                                        QSH Command Entry                           
                                                                                                    
  £                                                                                                 
> java -version                                                                                     
  java version "1.3.0"                                                                              
  £                                                                                                 
> javac hello.java                                                                                  
  hello.java:2: cannot resolve symbol                                                               
  symbol  : class String                                                                            
  location: class Hello                                                                             
       public static void main (String args^]) {                                                    
                                ¢                                                                   
  hello.java:3: cannot resolve symbol                                                               
  symbol  : class out                                                                               
  location: package System                                                                          
            System.out.println("Hello World");                                                      
                  ¢                                                                                 
  2 errors                                                                                          
  £                                                                                                 

I had created a SystemDefault.properties file and added the line java.version=1.3. I also added the symbolic links to the various JDK extensions, although this simple program only uses String and System.out.println.

If I change my SystemDefault.properties value to java.version=1.2, the JAVAC works fine.

Has anyone any ideas?

Thanks,

Darrell.
