Are you using the same version of the JDK on every platform? I'm using the Linux version of JDK1.3 under FreeBSD and it complains the same way. I'd say it is more likely to do with some versions of Java allowing it and some not, rather than something FreeBSD-specific.

I assume you mean "I've tried adding a default constructor and assigned the value in it".

I did the same thing and the aforementioned error went away.

I'm assuming that you are trying to assign this value from a property or something. Do you need it as a final instance variable? If the same value is going to be valid for every class, try something like:

public class A {
    private static final int m_maxValuesPerName;

    static {
       m_maxValuesPerName = Integer.getInteger( "foo.maxValuesPerName", 5 ).intValue();
    }
}

Or even the more succinct:

public class A {
    private static final int m_maxValuesPerName 
	= Integer.getInteger( "foo.maxValuesPerName", 5 ).intValue();
}
