Compiling package-info.java gives this error:

E:/ws/hostd/bora/vim/vmodl/vim/host/package-info.java:4: package annotations
should be in file package-info.java
@wsdlName("Host") package vim.host;

The file looks like this:

   @wsdlName("Host") package vim.host;
   import vmodl.*;

Addtional info from submitter:

I was able to reproduce the problem on WindowsXP using your files.

My command line was:
         javac C:/home/pcanning/wsdlName.java 
C:/home/pcanning/package-info.java
It is important that the slashes be forward slashes not backward slashes.
If I do
         javac C:\home\pcanning\wsdlName.java 
C:\home\pcanning\package-info.java
or
         javac wsdlName.java package-info.java
I don't get the error.

--- package-info.java ---
@wsdlName("Host") package vim.host;
import vmodl.*;

--- wsdlName.java ---
package vmodl;
public @interface wsdlName { String value(); }

WORK AROUND Use cygwin or don't use forward slashes on Windows. ###@###.### 2004-11-25 02:16:06 GMT

EVALUATION I need a reproducible test case. ###@###.### 2004-11-20 00:43:05 GMT Based on the additional information from the submitter I was able to reproduce the problem on Windows XP. You need to run it from the Windows command prompt, cygwin is too helpful. I cannot create a regression test as I don't have a way to test platform specific behavior. ###@###.### 2004-11-25 02:08:04 GMT SQE (###@###.###) will implement tests for this. ###@###.### 2004-11-29 18:38:15 GMT I turns out that it is easy to write test for platform specific behavior in jtreg, so SQE doesn't need to write a test case. ###@###.### 2005-05-27 23:03:53 GMT
