JDK-5063124 - recursive class loading in javadoc causes assertion error
Description
I'm a developer on the jaxrpc team at Sun. Am seeing an error when generating/compiling 
client code. The stack trace is below -- am working on creating a workspace so that the error
can be replicated with a command line javac call.

Jdk version:
java version "1.5.0-rc"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-rc-b63)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0-rc-b63, mixed mode)

Part of the output from ant:
compile-client:
Compiling 9 source files to /kauai/beach/jaxrpc-ri/test-client-server/build/temp/classes
An exception has occurred in the compiler (1.5.0-beta3). Please file a bug at the Java Developer Connection (http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport)  after checking the Bug Parade for duplicates. Include your program and the following diagnostic in your report.  Thank you.

EVALUATION I'm marking this bug as incomplete until I get a reproducible example. ###@###.### 2004-08-20 I can reproduce the bug now. ###@###.### 2004-08-24 I'm still not sure what is causing this behavior. It could be a malformed class file or it could be an unforseen interaction with completing annotations. I will continue evaluating and hopefully know more tomorrow. ###@###.### 2004-08-24 The submitter has been very helpful in reconstructing this problem and I now have a correct fix for it. However, it is too late for Tiger. Perhaps an update release. ###@###.### 2004-08-25

SUGGESTED FIX This patch for com.sun.tools.javac.jvm.ClassReader.java makes the problem go away: --- /tmp/geta17401 2004-08-24 19:40:00.024893536 -0700 +++ ClassReader.java 2004-08-24 19:39:54.923669040 -0700 @@ -1516,11 +1516,11 @@ c.members_field = new Scope.ErrorScope(c); // make sure it's always defined completeOwners(c.owner); fillIn(c); + annotate.flush(); // finish attaching annotations } else if (sym.kind == PCK) { PackageSymbol p = (PackageSymbol)sym; fillIn(p); } - annotate.flush(); // finish attaching annotations } /** complete up through the enclosing package. */ Not sure if this is a correct change, though. ###@###.### 2004-08-24
