Chapter "4.2.1 Integral Types and Values" of "The Java Language Specification" reads:
...
The values of the integral types are integers in the following ranges:
...
     For long, from -9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807, inclusive
...

But compiler from Linux_JDK_1.2.2 discards the following test:

-------------------------- test.java -------------------------

public class test {
  long l = -9223372036854775808L;
}

---------------------------- output --------------------------

[akm@linux-1 test]$ javac test.java

test.java:2: Integer literal out of range. Decimal long literals must be in the range -9223372036854775808L to 9223372036854775807L.
  long l = -9223372036854775808L;

--------------------------------------------------------------

The following test is compiled smoothly:

-------------------------- test.java -------------------------

public class test {
  long l = -9223372036854775807L; // -9223372036854775808L -> -9223372036854775807L
}
