The patches are only necessary so that OOo may recognize and work with certain JRE version on Mac and FreeBSD. It has nothing to do with the 1.3.1 base line.
The X-server problem is not particularly related with 1.5. The Java framework checks if a JRE has an accessibility bridge installed. This is done by examining a system property. But that is only set after a call to java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit. At this point Java may complain about no X server. This caused some trouble in our build environment (Sun, Hamburg) therfore I disabled this test.

Hi,

By previous agreement with Stefan and others, I thought all had agreed that JDK 1.3 level features only would be used. Exactly what on earth requires JDK 1.5?


Yes, we don't need it...

My mistake, it's even a bad idea, since, after read carefully Issue 40879, " This can cause
a problem with the Xserver. The result is that the JRE is not recognized as valid "


So we must use m71  + patches

I'll test asap with old one patched...

BTW : do you know if everything must be rebuild, or simply some parts ? I think only rebuild jvmfwk and test it


If this is a primary feature it should be removed and reimplmented in JDK 1.3 prior to any release.


yes

 Only if it is a minor or non-required

secondary feature should it be allowed and even then it should probably be rewritten to JDK 1.3 with the help of open class files.


Of course, thank you very much, this will help us a lot !
