Thisis similar to 4241540 which was marked fixed in 1.4.0. We are seeing this in 1.4.0_01. We have a class that depends on a class in a jar which itself depends on a class in another jar. If we compile and the third jar is not present, we get the follwoing error:
[javac] Compiling 120 source files to I:\Build\IQUERY_9.1\report_source\iquerymetadata\source\java\build
[javac] An exception has occurred in the compiler (1.4.0_01). Please file a bug at the Java Developer Connection (http://java.sun.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi) after checking the Bug Parade for duplicates. Include your program and the following diagnostic in your report. Thank you.

While the compile would have ended at this point anyhow, the traceback is very disconcerting.
