Fwd: clean build doesn't generate package private class

Hi Doug,

This is very strange. I just synced with the latest JDK7 source from TL 
and did a clean build, everything went fine, I have a Parts.class

As you said, this is a clean build, right? Not a incremental.

Running a few tests with javac I can see that if you compile URL.java 
then you will always compile Parts, even if the compile of URL.java has 
been triggered implicitly by a reference from another class ( and this 
is typically the case when building the JDK ).

The only thing I can suggest is to resync the repository and try a full 
clean build. Failing that cd  jdk/make/java/net, make clobber, make all. 
That will rebuild URL.java which will produce Parts.class.

-Chris.
