PostgreSQL version: 7.4

Operating system: Linux

Description: JDBC compile fails using Java 1.5.0-beta2

Details:

I just downloaded PostgreSQL 7.4.3 and attempted to "make" it with the
option to create JDBC drivers.

I get error messages when using j2sdk1.5b2, however it compiles successfully
using j2sdk1.4.2_04.

I had the same problem with PostgreSQL 7.4.2.

While I don't expect PostgreSQL 7.4.x to take advantage of the features of
Java 1.5 at this stage, I think it is reasonable to expect it to compile.

(Hopefully, PostgreSQL 7.5 will be implemented to benefit from at least some
of the improvements in Java 1.5!)
