           Summary: java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor.isMimeTypeEqual final,
                    so Java Activation Framework doesn't compile
           Product: gcc
           Version: 3.3
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libgcj
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: rick@knowleses.org
                CC: gcc-bugs@gcc.gnu.org

When trying to compile the Java Activation Framework and JavaMail using GCJ to 
an object file, the error message below is displayed. I checked the class 
referenced in the include/java folder, but there was nothing I could see to 
suggest final behaviour on the header file.

I've tried this with a copy of GCJ built from CVS, and the same message is 
returned.

[rickk@gw tomcat]$ make mail.o
gcj -O2 -march=athlon  --classpath=./mail -o mail.o -
c ./mail/javax/mail/*.java ./mail/javax/mail/*/*.java ./mail/javax/activation/*.
java ./mail/com/*/*/*/*.java ./mail/com/*/*/*/*/*.java
./mail/javax/activation/ActivationDataFlavor.java:180: error: Final methods 
can't be overriden. Method `java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor.isMimeTypeEqual
(java.lang.String)' is final in class `java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor'.
       public boolean isMimeTypeEqual(String mimeType) {
                      ^

GCC Compile info:

Configured with: ../gcc-3.3/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-33 --enable-
shared --enable-languages=c,c++,objc,java --enable-threads=posix --enable-

Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3

System is: Linux 2.4.21, 2xAthlonMP CPU, GLibc 2.3.2.

I've tried this with both the source code and the compiled activation.jar 
supplied with Tomcat, and both give the same results.  I'm not sure whether 
this is an environment error or something in libgcj, but in any case, I'd like 
to fix it.

Looking forward to your response. By the way ... what is a 
host/target/build "triplet" ?
