Hi there,

This year, the instructors are U of T choose DrJava as
the 'official ide' and it's been a success.  The only
snag we hit was with type assignments (as mentioned in
the drjava FAQ.. at least, I think it's the same
issue).  What's happening is students are submitting:

    public foo implements Iterator {
        // ...
        String next () {
            //...
        }
        //...
    }

where the regular compiler (which we use during
testing) wants:

    public foo implements Iterator {
        // ...
        Object  next () {
            //...
        }
        //...
    }

I know this artifact is a 'feature' of DynamicJava and
isn't your code (or fault), but I was wondering if I
could submit the issue as a feature request for a
work-around or a bug report to disable some DynamicJava
'features'.

A possible work-around could be an option to compile &
run the code using the 'real' compiler and vm.  I know
this could disable the interactions pane.. but that
shouldn't be a big deal.

Anyways, just wanted to run this by you before I
submitted anything on SourceForge.

Thanks for your time,

Geoff
