This talk has made me wonder. I always had problems running my Java
Swing gui-intensive apps on non-Windows platforms. When the application
is under "stress" ie. when clicking and draging and moving the mouse a
lot, I have had java lock up on me all the time (main event loop just
freezes). The deadlock seems to be within the native event handling
code. This was with Linux and Solaris under JDK 1.1.6 / 1.1.7. I have
not tested this under JDK 1.2 yet. Did anyone else have this problem and
or (even better) have anyone had this problem and solved it? I remember
spending a week on this problem and getting nowhere (used thread /
monitor dumps, looked through event handling source, etc...). I tried
checking out dejanews, mailing newsgroups about the problem, but had no
answer.
