Build failure: langtools/src/jdk.compiler/share/classes/com/sun/tools/javac/comp/Check.java:1735

[Srikanth]

Can you try make clean first  ? I think this code is referencing some 
methods that belong in a
type (CompilerProperties.java) that gets generated by an earlier rule - 
perhaps there is some
bug in the build scripts that causes the regeneration of 
CompilerProperties.java to be bypassed.

Thanks!
