Did the compiler change? I pass an AdvancedRobot object reference to an enemyWave class. I get this error:

Compiling...

Found 1 semantic error compiling "C:/robocode/robots/per6/Scope.java":

318. startTick = self.getTime()-1;
^-----^
*** Semantic Error: The class file "BulletMissedEvent.class" in "libs\robocode.jar\robocode" has an invalid format (duplicate local variable type table).
Compile Failed (1)

It worked fine on previous versions.

Hmmm. The problem only appears when using jikes....

Hi xZack,

Yes, unfortunately Jikes has not been updated for years, and it cannot compile Java 6 stuff. I am considering removing it in the future, but for now lot's of users are happy that Jikes comes along with Robocode.
