Description _ tboudreau 2010-02-02 11:44:53 UTC 
See issue 179862:  The Java Card platform for classic applets/libraries (A Java Card platform has two separate boot classpaths, one for Java Card 2 projects [no java.lang.String, no floating point], another for Java Card 3 projects [more complete but still no collections and no floating point]).  But Java Card projects are source-level 1.6.

NetBeans generates uncompilable code with @Override when using editor features that generate method overrides (override method, add all abstract methods, add @Override annotation hint, etc.) - they are annotated with @Override, but it cannot be compiled.

I cannot fix this in the Java Card module (see comments on issue 179862).  Need the editor infrastructure either not to generate @Override annotations if the Override annotation is not in the project boot classpath, or a quick hack to allow a Java Platform to provide some token to indicate that annotations of this kind should not be generated.

Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *201002040200* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress)

Log: #180165: override is supported only if the source level > 1.5, and java.lang.Override is available on the classpath.
Comment 2 _ tboudreau 2010-02-03 22:52:05 UTC 
So this is fixed?
Comment 3 Jan Lahoda 2010-02-03 23:00:41 UTC 
Yes, I hope so.
Comment 4 _ tboudreau 2010-02-03 23:34:57 UTC 
Thanks for the super-rapid response!
Comment 5 _ tboudreau 2010-02-16 13:31:44 UTC 
Sorry - it looks like this needs to be fixed in GeneratorUtilities.createMethod() in java.source - GeneratorUtils.supportsOverride(CompilationInfo) is not called in the path of the Override Methods hint.
Comment 6 _ tboudreau 2010-02-16 17:27:54 UTC 
Hotfixed in main/ 71d0594c59ae

Please review.
