Using install build     EGL Development Tools (EDT)	0.7.0.v201109060901

Create a EGL project that only uses the java compiler
create a new program named driver
Results in these errors:

IWN.JavaGen.9998.e 11/203 Exception occurred: java.lang.NullPointerException	
IWN.JavaGen.9999.e 11/203 Stack Trace: java.lang.NullPointerException	
Syntax error, insert ";" to complete FieldDeclaration	
Syntax error, insert "}" to complete ClassBody	 
The type driver must implement the inherited abstract method Program.main()

Additional problem with this. Fix this one first.

1. Create the egl java-compiler project
2. create new library which as errors due to the const variable
3. create a new program which will also have errors due to the const variable
4. delete the egl source of the library
5. Problem the problem list still shows issues with the library source file
6. Clean of the project doesn't clear 'em out either

Kathy, please open a separate bug against IDE UI for the additional problem.  JavaGen doesn't find or display the Java compile errors.

Kathy. I didn't get a failure when I created this testcase. Am I on the right track?

package acme.xxxx;

library l5
const a string = "jeff";
end

Comment 5 Kathy Carroll

This is what I used to get the problem in both install build and development environment.

package acme.xxxx;

library little
	const constantName string = "literalString";
	function functionName()
	end
	
end


I will refresh my development environment to see if that resolves the problem for me.
