Would you advice on the following error when I try to compile and run the 
webmastertools pacage from the GData API samples:

The version numbers are
        http://code.google.com/p/gdata-java-client/
        gdata-samples.java-1.40.3.zip 
        gdata-src.java-1.40.3.zip

Here is the output from ant:

I am also getting this error. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.2 with Java 1.5.

Have you got a workaround?

Dugald, There was a fix pushed out in 1.41.0 release.  If you are using 1.41.0 
or
1.41.1 then the issue should be fixed.  If you are and you are still seeing the
issue, let us know.
