Hi Neal

Wei found that the NetBeans build problem isn't just with
-target 1.5, it just needs to be a Tiger javac.

I made the smallest reproducible test case I could, and
have attached it.  It'll uncompress & untar to a directory
nbtest, and in there is a 'doit' sh script.

There are some jar files included; I can send you the source
files for anything in there that you need, or you can look
in /net/isher.east/scratch/jane/downloads/netbeans-src .

I still haven't figured out whether this is the same problem
as 4909550 and am still working on narrowing things down further,
but at this point you'll probably be able to see things more
quickly than I can.

I'll also see if I can find a particular Tiger build this starts
to fail with.


Here's the output I get from the doit script:

sh doit
