I can see your point, but both the solutions feel wrong to me. I can't make up my mind which is the less bad. > I don't see an attachment :-( I guess the mailing list software stripped it out.

Old habits :) Webrev is at: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~omajid/webrevs/jawt-link-regression/00/ I have also put up a test case at: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~omajid/jawt-test.tar.gz The test case is the exact same as that on http://download.java.net/jdk8/docs/technotes/guides/awt/AWT_Native_Interface.html, except it automates the building and running. You will have to edit the makefile to set the value of JDK_HOME. It should point to a j2sdk-image directory. Then do: $ make $ make run Without the fix it should print an UnsatisfiedLinkError. With the fix, it should show a window. > I built jdk8/build successfully just last week. What issues are you seeing? Errors building hotspot, I seem to recall. But I cant reproduce it anymore after pulling today. I can now confirm that the fix works for me with jdk8 too. Thanks, Omair
