    <p>I have encountered a peculiar build situation where a java project compiles in eclipse but fails on the build machine (Ant 1.8.2 with JDK 1.6)</p> <p>The compile fails on a class called 'DestinationList', which is an inner class with an inner class. Structure is similar to below.</p> <pre><code>public class MappingDetail { public class DestinationList extends AbstractGrowingScrollTable { public class DestinationListRow { } } } </code></pre> <p>With the classes laid out as above, the compilation fails complaining it cannot find 'AbstractGrowingScrollTable'. If I remove the inner-inner class 'DestinationListRow' the compile succeeds. If I move 'DestinationList' to its own code file compilation also succeeds.</p> <p>What is going on here? Since I have a work-around I ask out of interest. I cannot understand why this would fail.</p> <p>'AbstractGrowableScrollTable' is in a separate jar, but this jar is definitely on the classpath and in fact with verbose logging turned on I can see the class is actually found by javac shortly after. Excerpt below. Note on the last list of the log it does load AbstractGrowableScrollTable.</p> <pre><code>[javac] C:\Work\Decisiv\BUILD_AREA\code\source\APEI01\com\initech\sd\ap\ei01\ui\MappingDetail.java:551: cannot find symbol [javac] symbol : class AbstractGrowingScrollTable [javac] location: class com.initech.sd.ap.ei01.ui.MappingDetail [javac] public class DestinationList extends AbstractGrowingScrollTable { [javac] ^ [javac] [loading com\initech\sd\ks\ta01\resource\IResourceable.class(com\initech\sd\ks\ta01\resource:IResourceable.class)] [javac] [loading com\initech\sd\za\rt01\resources\Resources.class(com\initech\sd\za\rt01\resources:Resources.class)] [javac] [loading com\initech\sd\za\sh01\shared\Pair.class(com\initech\sd\za\sh01\shared:Pair.class)] [javac] [loading com\initech\sd\za\ui\component\CheckBox.class(com\initech\sd\za\ui\component:CheckBox.class)] [javac] [loading com\initech\sd\za\ui\component\Grid.class(com\initech\sd\za\ui\component:Grid.class)] [javac] [loading com\initech\sd\za\ui\component\Image.class(com\initech\sd\za\ui\component:Image.class)] [javac] [loading com\initech\sd\za\ui\component\Label.class(com\initech\sd\za\ui\component:Label.class)] [javac] [loading com\initech\sd\za\ui\component\Row.class(com\initech\sd\za\ui\component:Row.class)] [javac] [loading com\initech\sd\za\ui\component\layoutdata\GridLayoutData.class(com\initech\sd\za\ui\component\layoutdata:GridLayoutData.class)] [javac] [loading com\initech\sd\za\ui\component\layoutdata\RowLayoutData.class(com\initech\sd\za\ui\component\layoutdata:RowLayoutData.class)] [javac] [loading com\initech\sd\za\ui\component\properties\Alignment.class(com\initech\sd\za\ui\component\properties:Alignment.class)] [javac] [loading com\initech\sd\za\ui\component\properties\Font.class(com\initech\sd\za\ui\component\properties:Font.class)] [javac] [loading com\initech\sd\za\ui\component\table\ScrollTableColumn.class(com\initech\sd\za\ui\component\table:ScrollTableColumn.class)] [javac] [loading com\initech\sd\za\ui\component\table\ScrollTableRow.class(com\initech\sd\za\ui\component\table:ScrollTableRow.class)] [javac] [loading com\initech\sd\za\ui\resource\DefaultStyle.class(com\initech\sd\za\ui\resource:DefaultStyle.class)] [javac] [loading com\initech\sd\za\ui\resource\ImageResources.class(com\initech\sd\za\ui\resource:ImageResources.class)] [javac] [loading com\initech\sd\ui\cf\AbstractGrowingScrollTable.class(com\initech\sd\ui\cf:AbstractGrowingScrollTable.class)] </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
