FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.5.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-b64)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-b64, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Code that used to compile just fine when using the JAAS API no longer compile giving me the following error:

DummyLoginModule.java:17: abstract method initialize(javax.security.auth.Subject,javax.security.auth.callback.CallbackHandler,java.util.Map<java.lang.String,?>,java.util.Map<java.lang.String,?>) in javax.security.auth.spi.LoginModule cannot be accessed directly
        super.initialize(subject, callbackHandler, sharedState, options);


DummyLoginModule is a subclass of an AbstractLoginModule I created with one abstract method called doAuthenticate. The DummyLoginModule class overrides initialize() method of the parent class and also makes a call to super.initialize() which is where the compile error happens.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
The following two classes compiled just fine under 1.4.2_05..but no longer compile under 1.5.. just try to compile the two classes under 1.5


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I was expecting the code to compile without any modifications between 1.4 and 1.5.. or am I wrong?
ACTUAL -
When trying to compile from the command line I get the following error:
Where %JAVA_HOME% is pointing to my JDK1.5.0
