I have both JDK 1.1.5 and JDK 1.2beta2 installed on
my computer.
JDK 1.1.5 is in directory: Java
JDK 1.2beta2 is in directory: Java-beta
I have a batch file that I made to change the
PATH and CLASSPATH environment variables between
the two versions. I set the wrong path to the
1.2beta2's classes.zip file
(to 1.1.5's file instead), and javac crashed
without hinting at what was wrong aside from saying
that it had tried to execute an illegal instruction.
Although this was a result of my error
(incorrect class path in batch file), I think that
it would be nice to have the COMPILER CHECK the
VERSIONS of any LIBRARIES it is EXPECTING.
