[openjava-support] Overzealous attempts to resolve types?

[Michael J. <msj...@uw...>]

Hey all. Rather new to OpenJava, hope someone can give me some advice on this.
(OpenJava Compiler Version 1.1 build 20030618)

I am trying to write a metaclass to reproduce a method for a number of 
primitive types. Unfortunately, in the case of method parameters, the types 
are attempted to be resolved a bit too early, producing error messages both 
in initializing the parse tree and during my translateDefinition. For the 
latter, it appears for some strange reason that OJClass.removeMethod requires 
the ability to resolve the method parameter's types? None of this is a 
problem for the return type, which I suppose gets recognized as a keyword, or 
is not checked as often?

In the end, it still generates the output correctly, but the errors are 
annoying. The errors are shown below.

Is there a sane way in general to translate code where members/fields/
parameters/types are missing or invalid until after translateDefinition?

Cheers,
