464467 - rhino contains conflicting class in rhino-examples.jar

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Rhino Graveyard :: Core, defect)

Description

[tschmidt]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008103100 SUSE/3.0.4-1.1 Firefox/3.0.4
Build Identifier: 1.7.5

rhino-examples.jar contains a class called "File" in the default namespace. 
This breaks compilation of code when for example ant is used to build a project 
and the rhino-examples.jars is sourced. 

The compiler will use rhinos File class instead of java.io.File then which 
is a hard to find error. 

For google: the error looks like: 
    [javac] /space/workspace/features/keeper-suse/tools/src/UserUpdate.java:215: cannot find symbol
    [javac] symbol  : constructor File(java.lang.String)
    [javac] location: class File
    [javac]         File idFile = new File("...");


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
write code with 
new File("bla")
inside and have rhino examples in classpath
