So you mean, that I could have luck getting support from SUN?
Cool.
What is SUN's best address to contact?
Till know I was only a user loading all new version from JFC and JDK and
if something
didn't work the way I wanted or s.thing wasn't included I waited for the
next version :-)
--> so I didn't care about bug-reporting, complaining and stuff like
this (besides, no time :-)
But this is now a "CAUSA PRIMA" for me!
Besides: Shane misunderstood me: I don't work with parts of Java 2D, but
I want to, just
because SUN is not willing to support Linux the way it deserves.
(It can't be that hard to do so, just adapt their Solaris-x86-stuff an
recompile it for Linux.
I don't think that there's that much difference! (the khoros-people
manage to support a huge
amount of unixes for their stuff, so the Sun-people being able to bring
the world such a cool
language should manage this, too ;-)
And I don't want to switch to Win95 (I also need JNI + C, gcc is
included in Linux, in
Win95 I would have to install a C-compiler, I'm writing the written part
of my diploma
thesis with StarOffice for Linux (free!) and so on, so I want to have
everything on ONE
system, and NOT switch between Win and Linux - besides: Java under Linux
seems to
be MUCH faster than Java under Win95)
