BUILD FAILED
D:\MyWorkBench\visage\visage\build.xml:835: The following error occurred while executing this line:
D:\MyWorkBench\visage\visage\visagedoc\build.xml:13: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.

is it really a Jkd 1.7 -soruce 1.5 bug ???

[Shiv Kumar Ganesh]

I guess it is due to JDK 1.7 since even Arivu got the same error long back at a Jug Meet when we tried to compile it out there

using JKD 1.6 . ITs just an assumption Though.

I believe the problem you are experiencing may be fixed in 1.7.0_10.  At least for the Mac.

Mac has an additional issue with the building of the jdi.  Based on the new layout of the JDK, the generated build files for the jdi subfolder are unable to find javac.

/Users/esmith/Development/Visage/VisageCompiler/build.xml:850: The following error occurred while executing this line:

/Users/esmith/Development/Visage/VisageCompiler/visagejdi/nbproject/build-impl.xml:380: The following error occurred while executing this line:

/Users/esmith/Development/Visage/VisageCompiler/visagejdi/nbproject/build-impl.xml:195: Error running /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_10.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/bin/javac compiler

For some reason, the build is searching for the javac in the JRE instead of the JDK which should be /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_10.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/javac

Any ideas or recommendations?
