Error description
Abstract: In some scenarios after upgrading to v8.0.4.1 from then attempts to build applications that involve JavaScript results in the following JavaScript Validator exception: Errors running builder 'JavaScript Validator' on project MyProject. org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.internal.compiler.lookup.BaseTypeBinding incompatible with org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.internal.compiler.lookup.ReferenceBinding. Problem: When you have a project that includes JavaScript files then after upgrading to v8.0.4.1 your project build does not compile due to the following error: Errors running builder 'JavaScript Validator' on project MyProject. org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.internal.compiler.lookup.BaseTypeBinding incompatible with org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.internal.compiler.lookup.ReferenceBinding. The error will then appear in the Marker tab and prevents you from successfully compiling your project. Local fix: Disable the JavaScript validator.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** While merging the definitions of types across multiple files, it was assumed that a base type would never be encountered; all bindings are expected to be ReferenceBindings. This isn't even necessary, though, as nothing from the ReferenceBinding interface is required later on.
Problem conclusion
The Typecast was removed to fix this problem. The fix for this APAR is included in Rational Application Developer v8.0.4.2.
