--- Begin Message ---Package: librxtx-java Version: 2.1.7r2-3 Severity: wishlist In the static initializer of gnu.io.RXTXPort, an exception when initializing the static variable 'z' is silently discarded: try { z = new Zystem(); } catch ( Exception e ) {}; This leads to NullPointerExceptions later, which are difficult to debug as the original exception is lost. I did change the code to try { z = new Zystem(); } catch ( Exception e ) { throw new Error(e.toString()); }; for debugging. Probably a more specific exception would be more appropriate, but the point is that leaving z undefined without reporting an error makes debugging unnecessarily difficult. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-rc6-smapi-x61s-00063-g681fc79 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages librxtx-java depends on: ii gij [java-virtual-machine] 4:4.3-2 The GNU Java bytecode interpreter ii gij-4.1 [java-virtual-machine 4.1.2-19 The GNU Java bytecode interpreter ii gij-4.2 [java-virtual-machine 4.2.3-1 The GNU Java bytecode interpreter ii gij-4.3 [java-virtual-machine 4.3.0-1 The GNU Java bytecode interpreter ii java-gcj-compat [java-virtual 1.0.77-5 Java runtime environment using GIJ ii java-gcj-compat-headless [jav 1.0.77-5 Java runtime environment using GIJ ii libc6 2.7-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii sun-java6-jre [java-virtual-m 6-04-2 Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment ( librxtx-java recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
