#2088 — java.lang.Float.MAX_EXPONENT cannot be resolved

Under openSuse, the following program says that 


        int indx8 = java.lang.Float.MAX_EXPONENT ;
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1 problem (1 error)


after javac t.java where t.java contains

package de.viper_ag.util ;

// import java.lang.Float ;

public class t {

        private void init()
        {
                // int indx8 = Float.MAX_EXPONENT ;
                // int indx8 = MAX_EXPONENT ;
                int indx8 = java.lang.Float.MAX_EXPONENT ;
                // indx8 = java.lang.Math.getExponent(java.lang.Float.MAX_VALUE) ;
        }
}

 java -version
java version "1.6.0_24"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11.3) (suse-9.1-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)

This type of error does not occur with Fedora-9 or Fedora-14 distributions.
Any workaround for this?

You might look for and delete any remnant t.class left over from a 
previous, failed compilation.

Because this type is in a package, one expects to see that package 
reflected in the command line.

It's never necessary to import 'java.lang' types.

Yes, this should have worked. Strange.

Same difference.

What about "javac -version"?

Grasping at straws here.

No. It's an "impossible" error. Something is fubared in your Java setup, 
if John's suggestion doesn't work.

try uninstall/install your JDK.  Do you have anything in your SET
environment obsolete?
