Description

Name: ddT132432			Date: 01/09/2002


FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.3.1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1-b24)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1-b24, mixed mode)


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
If compile-time constant field initializers were available,
the Doclet API would be sufficient to get all of the
information about a class that the compilation of a
different class can copy. It would therefore be able to
determine whether a source file has been modified in such a
way that would affect the compilation of other classes.



This bug can be reproduced always.
