Hello,=20

I'm trying to port one of our software packages to the FreeBSD = platform. It=20 currently works on Win32, Solaris and Linux, and we have customer = who'd like=20 to see it run on FreeBSD.=20

So, I've downloaded an built a version of the jdk from your = installation=20 instructions. I believe that I have followed the instructions to a = "t". =20 However the java compiler is choking on the following code segment=20

private final int m_maxValuesPerName;=20

The compiler is complaining about:=20 

Blank final variable =
'm_maxValuesPerName' may not have been initialized. It must  be =
assigned a value in an initializer, or in every =
constructor.


Even though the constructor assigns a value to the final = variable.=20

I've tried adding a default constructor but that didn't fix the = problem.=20

The only solution so far has been to remove the "final" keyword = from the=20 declaration.=20

Have you heard of this issue?  Is there a solution?=20
