jdk8 javadoc tool issue - IllegalStateException: endPosTable already set

[Neon Ngo]

Hi,

we are seeing this error using JDK 8 EA b124 (b123, etc.) using the javadoc
tool.

java.lang.IllegalStateException: endPosTable already set
at
com.sun.tools.javac.util.DiagnosticSource.setEndPosTable(DiagnosticSource.java:136)
at com.sun.tools.javac.util.Log.setEndPosTable(Log.java:350)
at com.sun.tools.javac.main.JavaCompiler.parse(JavaCompiler.java:643)

javadoc: error - fatal exception

===
it is similar to BUG JDK-8029145
javadoc fails with java.lang.IllegalStateException: endPosTable already set

but we are NOT using the -subpackages option

I think our issue is b/c we have a directory (tools) that has a class NOT
in that package and others in it,
e.g.

<my_project_dir>/tools/ClassInDefaultPackage.java  (not in any package)
<my_project_dir>/tools/ClassInToolsPackage.java (in tools package)

then we run javaodc with -classpath
<my_project_dir>/tools:<my_project_dir>
<my_project_dir>/tools/ClassInDefaultPackage.java tools

and it gets the above error (this works fine in ALL JDK versions (1.0 to
1.7) prior to JDK 8 EA.

How do I submit a Bug for this issue are add comments to JDK-8029145 ?

Regards,

Neon
