EVALUATION The first bit chosen conflicted with ACC_STRICT, which it turns out is being set for classes declared strictfp. Most probably we will choose another bit that doesn't have such a conflict and hopefully also expose ACC_STRICT for classes at the same time (if the source specifies it). ###@###.### 2004-01-21 Fixed in 1.5 beta 2 (I believe 1.5.0 b36). Added ACC_ANNOTATION bit and made it part of recognized class modifiers. Modified ACC_ENUM bit to avoid conflict with ACC_NATIVE. Fixed lurking problem in ClassFileParser where tests for access flags new in 1.5 would break if the maximum supported class file version were incremented. ###@###.### 2004-01-29 ACC_ANNOTATION is defined as 0x2000. ACC_ENUM is defined as 0x4000. These definitions will be vetted by the CCC. ###@###.### 2004-01-30
