OPERATING SYSTEM(S):
=======================
Linux and Windows.

FULL JDK VERSION(S):
=======================
java version "1.6.0_01"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_01-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_01-b06, mixed mode)

DESCRIPTION:
======================
javac compile errors while autoboxing a Boolean/Integer.
while autoboxing a Boolean javac throws Fatal Error: Unable to find method booleanValue.

The same is true for Integer, javac throws Fatal Error: Unable to find method intValue.

I'm seeing javac compile errors that seem to be related to the use of autoboxing.

For example, when autoboxing a Boolean, I get this error:

    [javac] /extra/JDK6_BUILD/WEB/ws/build/build2/Test.java:6: cannot find symbol
    [javac] symbol : method booleanValue()
    [javac] location: class java.lang.Boolean
    [javac] boolean b = (Boolean) o[1];
    [javac] ^
    [javac] Fatal Error: Unable to find method booleanValue

And when autoboxing an Integer, I get this error,

    [javac] location: class java.lang.Integer
    [javac] int i = (Integer) o[1];
    [javac] ^
    [javac] Fatal Error: Unable to find method intValue

This only seems to happen when there is more than one javac process running in parallel, which we do in our build environment.

Recreation Steps:
=================
There is a tool created for recreating the problem. The tool generates the source files for however many threads are desired and then compiles them simultaneously.

The tool can be downloaded from here:
