BUG: "Error: javac: invalid flag: path/file.sqlj"

Question

I sometimes get this type of error when I make a file or a project in JDev 10g EA1, when all of the following conditions apply:
- I use make (using rebuild it never happens)
- I use javac (using ojc it never happens)
- I make a file/projects that somehow depends on a SQLJ file (with java-only scope it never happens)
- I use either JDK1.4.2_02 or JDK1.5.0_05
- My JDev, the JDKs, and my project data are all on paths without any spaces.
- Project size is ~1000 source files, source root path length is 25 chars.
Perhaps JDev tries to send SQLJ files by mistake to javac for compilation?

Answer 1

I've tried to prepare a test case, but before I barely started I narrowed it down to the simplest possible case:
1) Create a new empty project
2) Set the project to use jdk1.5.0_05
3) Set compiler options to use javac
4) Create a new class, use defaults
5) File/Rename Class1.java to Class1.sqlj
6) Right-click the file and choose Make
This reproduces everytime I modify the file and make it or the project.
Could not reproduce it using ojc, or using 142_02 (with javac or ojc).
I believe this bug can be traced to either command-line formatting by JDev or jdk1.5.0_05's low-tolerance for passing non-java files to javac.
