JAVAC under JDK 1.3 doesn't work

["Urbanek, Marty" <Marty_Urbanek@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Anybody know what the resolution to this turned out to be? I am having the
same problem now, that is, trying to run JAVAC from JDK1.3 on V4R5 and I get
errors on every line, even a simple Hello World cannot find basic classes
such as String:


class Hello {
     public static void main (String args[]) {
          System.out.println("Hello World");
     }
}

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 tried including java.lang.* but that didn't help. I searched the archives
and saw where you guys were talking about this several months ago, but I
don't see any explanation ever given, except for the CCSID theory which
didn't appear to help.

THANKS,
-Marty

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.versionÑ.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.versionÑ.2, the JAVAC
works fine.

Has anyone any ideas?

Thanks,

Darrell.
