Ad Apple''s setup for the (Java) scripting framework

2018-12-19 Thread Rony G. Flatscher (Apache) 
While re-assessing the (Java based) scripting framework on Apple (checking on
) for AOO 4.1.6 the following 
problems could be
isolated:

  * the PATH environment variable on MacOS gets tampered with, such that 
executables in
"/usr/local/bin" cannot be resolved, breaking the long standing scripting 
support for ooRexx
  o AOO 4.1.6 on Darwin sets the PATH environment variable to
.:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
rather, it should just leave the PATH environment variable intact as is 
the case on AOO
4.1.6 for Linux

As Apple has forced third party software to install to "/usr/local" a few 
years ago, at least
"/usr/local/bin" needs to be available at all times as well! (Better would 
be the user's PATH
value like on Linux.)

  * the current directory is set to the root directory "/" rather than to the 
user's home directory
like on Linux

---

Another observation that pertains to Apple only: interacting with AOO using the 
Java archives
(juh.jar, unoil.jar, ridl.jar, jurt.jar) from Java now causes a runtime 
exception on Apple with Java
9. Not sure whether this is the Apple AOO or the Java responsibility (it used 
to work in the past
years).

Here the trace of the exception (RexxDispatcher.java is the Java program that 
will invoke the ooRexx
scripting engine which itself uses a Java bridge that interacts with AOO via 
Java):
