What were you trying to do?
I was trying to getthe version of the running java compiler
{by using javac -version}
What's wrong:
It gives me this message:
> ~/Public> java -version 1.0.2 -version
> java_v: Can't resolve name
> The attach command failed for the locker java_v which should
> contain java version .
What should have happened:
I assumed that if I specified the version statement without a number
associated with it, it will print the default version, like the regular
program would.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
running javac -help, shows the options.. version is one of them.
Is there a way around this?
It's not a common thing to ask, but I was just trying to do it.. I don't
know if it is considered a real bug, given you see what version is being
attached, but if it isn't, this email could just be ignored.
