Hi all, 

We have found several differences between the errors generated
by the JDK 1.1 compiler, and JBuilder's. It appears (from the
limited sample) that JBuilder's compiler is somewhat better that 
Sun's.

1. There was a case where Sun's compiler did not notice an
   uncaught CloneNotSupportedException.

2. The JDK allows a method to be declared abstract synchronized.

3. A static blank final with a static initializer was erroneously
   flagged as uninitialized by JDK, but works with JBuilder. A
   try...catch was involved, because the constructor for the class
   of the field throws an exception.

So far seems like an excellent compiler. Haven't tested these
cases with Symantec though.

One where JBuilder seems to fall short is in complaining that
"variable may not have been initialized", when in fact all
branches do, in fact, set the variable.

Kudos and regards,

Lyle
