Philip I'm curious whether anybody has tried Octave-Java on Mac OS X using an Oracle JDK/JRE rather than what Apple provides to see if it also produces the runtime threading error indicated by http://lists.apple.com/archives/java-dev/2005/Mar/msg00506.html. Right now that renders the Octave-Java package essentially nonfunctional on OS X when using Apple's Java. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ -- Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
