Internal compiler error with 1.5.2

[Steve Storey]

Hi,

I've just upgraded from 1.4.60 to 1.5.2 and am now getting an internal
compiler error with my code:

[java] Compiling permutations

Now I have narrowed this down so that it looks like it's something in
the rocket-gwt (0.53) lib that's causing the issue as removing that
library solves the problem. However I'm reporting it here (as well as
Rocket) as a NoSuchMethodError shouldn't really happen at all in the
compiler?

Without looking at the problem i would say that the rocket problem is
because I made a few slight changes to the compiler for my own evil
purposes.

This is not a GWT problem so dont worry about it- steve i will look at
it and get back to you.

OK - thanks Miroslav

Hi,

I faced a similar problem as yours. My solution is extract the
rocket.jar and rocket-stacktrace.jar into 'rocket' directory, then
delete the 'com' directory which contains a rocket-specific
GWTCompiler (I think), then include this 'rocket' directory to your
compile classpath, and the error is gone...

Hope this works for you.
