I have finally decided to start using JDK 1.4 ( 1.4.1-beta to be exact. ). Installed it as root under /usr/local.
When running a Swing app ( under my own account, NOT root ) that was originally created with JDK 1.3.1 ( but recompiled for JDK 1.4.1 ), I get this: 11/08/2002 10:43:10 java.util.prefs.FileSystemPreferences$3 run WARNING: Could not create system preferences directory. System preferences are unusable. Does anyone know what this is / mean? When I look at the JDK 1.4 API, there is no such class named FileSystemPreferences under the given package above. Is this FileSystemPreferences some sort of "default" implementation of Preference if you don't provide one? Where are they stored? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
