I think the problem might actually be a lack of "-source 1.5" on the
javac line, actually. Without that, it doesn't seem to like the "enum"
declarations and doesn't create any of the enum classes, resulting in
the above error (and, if you scroll down, errors about the enum
declarations too).

This is testing with java-1.5.0-gcj-devel-1.5.0.0-17.fc8 on Fedora 8, FWIW.
