Compiling package-info.java gives this error:

E:/ws/hostd/bora/vim/vmodl/vim/host/package-info.java:4: package annotations
should be in file package-info.java
@wsdlName("Host") package vim.host;

The file looks like this:

   @wsdlName("Host") package vim.host;
   import vmodl.*;

Addtional info from submitter:

I was able to reproduce the problem on WindowsXP using your files.

My command line was:
         javac C:/home/pcanning/wsdlName.java 
C:/home/pcanning/package-info.java
It is important that the slashes be forward slashes not backward slashes.
If I do
         javac C:\home\pcanning\wsdlName.java 
C:\home\pcanning\package-info.java
or
         javac wsdlName.java package-info.java
I don't get the error.

--- package-info.java ---
@wsdlName("Host") package vim.host;
import vmodl.*;

--- wsdlName.java ---
package vmodl;
public @interface wsdlName { String value(); }

Use cygwin or don't use forward slashes on Windows.

I need a reproducible test case.

Based on the additional information from the submitter I was able to
reproduce the problem on Windows XP.  You need to run it from the
Windows command prompt, cygwin is too helpful.

I cannot create a regression test as I don't have a way to test platform
specific behavior.

SQE (  xxxxx@xxxxx  ) will implement tests for this.

I turns out that it is easy to write test for platform specific
behavior in jtreg, so SQE doesn't need to write a test case.

will there not be a back - port to Tiger (1.5)?

This is cute -- I just ran into this trying to build NetBeans' trunk.  I can only assume nobody is building NetBeans on Windows without using Cygwin (which I have but wasn't using...).

P.S. NetBeans requires use of the Java 5 compiler, so this is *really* cute.

[Clarification: Building NetBeans 6 requires use of the Java 5 compiler.]
