[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-1512) TextPositionComparator is not
compatible with Java 7
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1512?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15030305#comment-15030305 ]
Lars Torunski commented on PDFBOX-1512:
---------------------------------------
Which PDF caused the IllegalArgumentException in TIKA?
For testing purposes in PDFBOX-2996 I want to check if the useLegacyMergeSort option is working.

> The TextPostionCompartor causes the following exception running on Java 7: Unexpected RuntimeException from org.apache.tika.parser.ParserDecorator$1@9007fa2 Original cause: Comparison method violates its general contract!
> I think the problem is with this check:
> if ( yDifference < .1 ||
> (pos2YBottom >= pos1YTop && pos2YBottom <= pos1YBottom) ||
> (pos1YBottom >= pos2YTop && pos1YBottom <= pos2YBottom))
> as it violates the contract requirement:
> The implementor must also ensure that the relation is transitive: ((compare(x, y)>0) && (compare(y, z)>0)) implies compare(x, z)>0.
> Finally, the implementor must ensure that compare(x, y)==0 implies that sgn(compare(x, z))==sgn(compare(y, z)) for all z.
> Java 7 now is strict and throws exceptions when the contract is violated.
