I had a slightly different situation.
IBMJDK1.3 (happens with Sun JDK1.2.2 as well)
Linux
XEmacs
JDE beta23
I set the environment variable JAVA_COMPILER=none so that the jit would
be disabled. There was some documentation that the jit causes problems
with the debugger.
However, when the env is set, the VM starts up with the message:
Warning: Compiler none unknown. Using interpreter.
(or something similar).
The JDE code however interprets this incorrectly and generates a Lisp
error:
Lisp error: void-variable Warning
I found where JDE was parsing for Exception but not for Warning.
Any suggestions?
