Hello jdk-developers !
First of all I want to point out, that Blackdown is doing a good work,
and since Sun does not see, that Linux is becoming a competitive
alternative to Microsoft's Windows it is up to the porting team
to support the increasing group of Linux-developers who are not willing
to develop under windows circumstances ...
Last week I changed to the pre release of jdk1.2 using Linux and
recompiled the projects that I have developed using jdk1.1.7 -
but the results where disappointing:
(I am using Redhat5.2 and Suse6.0 !!!)
1.) Fonts do not behave as in 1.1.7, and even the batch in the
FAQs does not result to satisfying GUIs
2.) The javac compiler seems to be buggy since some of the
projects leads to >>nullpointerexceptions<< or other very strange
behaviors.
Unfortunately, the source-code is very huge, that I still could not
extract a simple example for balckdown to fix this bug(s)
3.) The exceptions in jdk1.2 do also not work. Instead of the trace-tree
I just get the message of the very top calling function (without
line-specification or something else) ...
4.) The initialization of the classes seems to behave different in
jdk1.1.7 and jdk1.2 but this my also be caused by the problem
mentioned in point (2).
To be sure, that this is really just a problem of the pre-release and
not
a mistake of my coding, I compiled the complete projects on a Win95
and Win98 system using the original jdk2.0 (alias jdk1.2) from Sun, with
the expected results:
it works fine
Is there somebody out there that have figured out equal problems, and
are
there simple examples to support the Blackdown team to fix these
problems ???
I am trying to find simple examples to demonstrate the sometimes amazing
behavior of jdk1.2-pre but always when the problem is becoming
smaller the mistakes disappear. Unfortunately, my time is very limited,
thus I have not enough time to work in that direction ...
with best regards
Mustafa
