Some progress: I have cygwin installed, and put it first in the path (so that cygwin's find comes before window's find). I removed cygwin from the path, and now the bean shell starts OK. Put cygwin back in the path, and the bean shell hangs. Weird.
I'm using ClearCase dynamic views on NT 4.0, using the NFS Client that comes with the "Windows NT Services For Unix (SFU)" package. Maybe it has some dll's or commands that have the same names as cygwin stuff, and that's messing things up. Hmm....

Beanshell is as you say VERY flaky for accesss of code in ClearCase storage. I have managed at times to make it work for getting source code for classes under the cursor (C-cC-vC-y), but it takes time to get any response (emacs seems to hang in between). It can take between 5-10 retries before I get a reply from the Beanshell. I submitted a request to the list for help in managing to get some debugging trace information in the *bsh* buffer whenever I try to use the Beanshell functionality but received no answer yet :-( Without that I cannot say for sure if it is a network access issue, a ClearCase issue or a Beanshell issue. When editing code on local drives (not NFS and not on ClearCase) the response time of the Beanshell is as reported in the JDEE documentation. 2. I have not experienced any issues with compilation. It works ok for me. 3. Clearcase is notoriously slow sometimes. Run a CCase Analysis Doctor (I am talking about windows here, I am not sure what happens in Unix, tho Unix CCase should have something similar) to see if there are any reported conflicts. > -----Original Message----- > From: Molitor, Stephen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 9:28 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Things hang when using ClearCase > > > Has anyone noticed any general flakiness when using JDE and Emacs with > ClearCase?
