[Bluej-discuss] Endles compilation without error report

[Karl Heinz Bernhart]

Hello to all list members,

when I try to compile the elementary example class given below, the  
compiler seems to hang and the process must be terminated violently  
via resetting the JVM. (BlueJ 2.1.2 MacOS 10.4.5)

The class implements two methods for calculating the factorial of a  
number - one iteration and one recursion.

Commenting out the one or the other method didn't help.

I cannot see the bug:

//======================================
public class Fakultaet
{
     public long FIt(int n)
     {
         //iterative Berechnung der Fakultaet einer Zahl n
         long factorial=1;
         for (int i=1; i<=n; i++)
             factorial *= i;
         return factorial;
     }

     public long FRek(int n)
     {
         //rekursive Berechnung der Fakultaet einer Zahl n
         if (n == 0)
             return 1;
         return n*FRek(n-1);
     }
//========================================

Maybe someone has an idea?

Thanks
