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.
I am getting the same problem, or one a lot like it:
Found 1 semantic error compiling "C:/robocode/robots/Netbattler11/CornerBot.java":
8. public class CornerBot extends Robot
^-------^
*** Semantic Error: The class file "BulletMissedEvent.class" in "libs\robocode.jar\robocode" has an invalid format (duplicate local variable type table).

I'm not even sure what the problem is. I'm new at this, so could I have some help?
Hi guys,
Unfortunately, this is a problem with the Jikes compiler that comes with Robocode. When you run into this problem, you need to use the javac compiler instead of Jikes.
1) Download and install the newest JDK from Sun (http:\\java.sun.com) under the Java SE sections.
2) Add environment variable to your system named JAVA_HOME that point to where Java is installed, e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_17.
3) Extend your PATH environment variable to include %JAVA_HOME%\bin (Windows) or $JAVA_HOME/bin (Linux, Unix, Mac OS)
4) Reset the compiler in Robocode by first selecting Robot -> Editor in the menu, and then Compiler -> Options -> Reset compiler in the menu of the editor. Press OK to reset the compiler. Now Robocode should find the 'javac' compiler. Press OK you use 'javac' instead of Jikes.
