java version "1.2.2"
Classic VM (build 1.2.2-L, green threads, nojit)


In the file PortReport.java, I have:

import java.util.*;

public class PortReport {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Portfolio port = new Portfolio("foobar");
  }
}

In the file Portfolio.java, I have:

import java.util.*;


public class Portfolio {
  String name;
  public Portfolio(String buf){
    TokenBuffer tbuf = new TokenBuffer();
    switch (1) {
    case tbuf.T_NAME:
      name = "figi";
    }
  }
  String getName(){ return name; }
  class TokenBuffer { final int T_NAME = 3; }
}

Both files reside in the same directory. To compile, I run "javac
PortReport.java" from the command line and get the following back:
