<AWT Dev> Can't compile (external) code against sun.awt.event package?

[Mario Torre]

Hi Phil,

Thanks for the explanation. Since we compile cacio against the rt.jar that would make sense...

On the other end, this is a problem, since building cacio will require a source distribution now... Is there any way to force javac to tolerate "friendly" code?

Cheers,
Mario
