Why that's happening requires further investigation. Figured it out - it's a japi bug that's rather hard to fix. Seems that in JDK1.5 there's a package-private class AbstractStringBuilder<T extends AbstractStringBuilder<T>> and StringBuffer is a subclass of AbstractStringBuilder<StringBuffer>. The methods in question are defined in AbstractStringBuilder as returning T. So they're present in StringBuffer two ways: as bridge methods, returning AbstractStringBuilder, and as real methods returning StringBuffer. Unfortunately japi is having some trouble with the fact that these methods differ only in their return type, and ends up only seeing the bridge method. And since that returns a nonpublic type, it skips it. The code in Japize that needs to be changed to fix this is complicated and the change needed isn't trivial. However, it's a different bug than the one that was just fixed, so the current results are correct as far as they go. Stuart. -- http://sab39.dev.netreach.com/
