[Opensource] Bug in EA-3 with JBuilder 7

[Michael Rimov]

Hey All,

Upgraded to JBuilder 7 today and found an interesting Bug with the 
compiler/debugger.  The deal is that technically you cannot have an 
Interface passed into your function and treat it as an Object at the same 
time without an explicit cast.  Here's an example:

checkClassName(UserInfo ui) {
    System.out.println(ui.getClass().getName()); //Will throw 
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError
}

instead what you have to do is:

((Object)ui).getClass().getName();

I have no idea if by the language spec this is correct or not.  But anybody 
currently running Expresso under JBuilder 7 will have this problem.  I've 
fixed two occurances in CVS, but I'm sure there's more.  So I will keep you 
posted on a quick ea-3b

Thanks!
