I will add my observations on the current GTK beta install for windows machines. On my home machines I had no problem downloading a clean j701 beta and running install 'gtkide' in jconsole. On office machines - behind the usual corporate firewall the getgtkbin verb hangs. I looked at the definition of the verb and was oddly able to directly download the gtkwin32.zip in the browser. I expect the firewall recognized the browser request and allowed it but did not recognized the j request.
Once you get the zip - unzipping to the proper directory results in a system that so far looks ok. On Mon, Jan 10, 2011 at 3:20 PM, Don Guinn <[email protected]> wrote: > I see them now.
