FIX: JActiveX-Generated VC6 COM Wrappers Don't Compile in VJ6

• Microsoft Visual J++, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

Compilation errors may occur after adding COM wrappers for some type libraries to a Microsoft Visual J++ project. For example, the following nine errors are generated when building a Visual J++ 6.0 Windows Application project that has added COM wrappers for "Visual C++ Shared Objects" (Devshl.dll) and "Visual C++ Project System" (Devbld.pkg):

BuildProject.java(94,40) : error J0061: The members 'Object IDispBuildProject.getConfigurations()' and 'IConfigurations BuildProject.getConfigurations()' differ in return type only

Configuration.java(20,39) : error J0063: Declare the class abstract, or implement abstract member 'void IDispConfiguration.setName(String newValue)'

Configuration.java(20,39) : error J0063: Declare the class abstract, or implement abstract member 'void IDispConfiguration.setParent(Object newValue)'

Configuration.java(20,39) : error J0063: Declare the class abstract, or implement abstract member 'void IDispConfiguration.setApplication(Object newValue)'

Configuration.java(20,39) : error J0063: Declare the class abstract, or implement abstract member 'void IDispConfiguration.setConfigurations(Object newValue)'

Configuration.java(48,40) : error J0061: The members 'Object IDispConfiguration.getConfigurations()' and 'IConfigurations Configuration.getConfigurations()' differ in return type only

Configurations.java(32,38) : error J0061: The members 'Object IDispConfigurations.getParent()' and 'IBuildProject Configurations.getParent()' differ in return type only

Configurations.java(41,39) : error J0061: The members 'Object IDispConfigurations.Item(Variant Index)' and 'IConfiguration Configurations.Item(Variant Index)' differ in return type only

Projects.java(35,40) : error J0061: The members 'Object IDispProjects.Item(Variant Index)' and 'IGenericProject Projects.Item(Variant Index)' differ in return type only
