I'm always hesitant to ascribe something to a compiler bug but I've
got a problem which is driving me dotty.
I have a project which I've been developing with CodeWarrior. I'm now
putting together an ant script to do a clean build and package the
application for release. The ant script builds the application
without errors, but omits to output one or two inner classes of one
particular class! I get XX$55.class and XX$57.class but no $56! When
I run the code, not surprisingly, I get a ClassNotFoundError.
I compiled with the verbose flag and and all the other files that are
generated are listed, but not the missing one(s).
I tried compiling just the parent class rather than my entire project
and this time a couple of other, different inner classes fail to be
output ($50 and $51 I think).
Other things I think I've eliminated are ant itself as the culprit (I
get the same results running javac from the command line) and memory
(I've increased the maximum memory to 256MB). I'm using java 1.4.2_05
under Mac OS X 10.3.8.
If I compile the same code with CodeWarrior, or with the
compiler="jikes" option in ant, all the inner classes are generated
as expected. However, I can't use jikes because I need to generate
1.1 compatible class files. However, that doesn't seem to be a
determining factor as javac fails whether or not I specify the target
version.
Has anyone seen anything like this before??

PS. The anonymous inner classes concerned are all property accessors.
Essentially, I have the following:
abstract class XyzAccessor
{
String name;
XyzAccessor(String name) { this.name = name; }
public abstract Object getValue(Xyz obj);
}
public static final XyzAccessor FIELD_X = new XyzAccessor("X") {
public Object getValue(Xyz obj) { return obj.getX(); }
};
public static final XyzAccessor FIELD_Y = new XyzAccessor("Y") {
public Object getValue(Xyz obj) { return obj.getY(); }
};
etc.
There doesn't seem to be anything special about the particular
accessors which are failing.
