Seems like it didn't always happen - compare: http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc/trunk/libjava/classpath/java/lang/?dir_pagestart=75 http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc/trunk/libjava/classpath/lib/java/lang/String.class?view=log The last time String.java was touched was 6 months ago, but the class file was last updated 15 months ago. If I could make --enable-java-maintainer-mode work then it wouldn't matter, but maybe re-genning the class files and checking them in would be a good idea, seeing as they're provided.
