2.7.3 bad class file errors

Hi,
 
I finally got around to upgrading our version of scala from 2.7.1 to 2.7.3 (we weren't able to upgrade sooner as we were in the middle of a release cycle) and it hasn't gone so well. I am finding that 2.7.3 is not really usable for us at this point due to bad class file errors, and I'm going to revert our stuff to 2.7.1. I tried workarounds for the first couple I encountered, but I'm kind of weary of continuing to do that since I have no idea how many there are. I have to imagine that anyone else with scala code integrated into a large java project is probably in a similar position. So, this email is a plea to get these problems fixed sooner rather than later!

 
Best regards,
Paul

For the people who would like a little more detail, I think the problems
Paul is talking about are described here:

http://lampsvn.epfl.ch/trac/scala/ticket/1711

Two similar ones are:

I'd also be happy to see a soon release of 2.7.4 so I can use an up-to-date
version again (espacially in the context of promoting Scala for Wicket users:
next coming up as a side-track of Apache Con Europe,
http://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/wicket-community-meetups-amsterdam.html).

Best regards, --- Jan.

Same problem here - have to go back to 2.7.2.

Cheers,
Peter

2.7.2? Paul had to go back to 2.7.1 (the release before Java generics
were supported), so they were not necessarily regressions introduced
after the 2.7.2 release. If your code runs ok in 2.7.2 but does not in
2.7.3, it might be useful to add information to the relevant bug report
indicating that it was not present in 2.7.2.
