I'm not part of the porting team, but I expect that the Blackdown team will do the work as time permits. Judging from the volume of "when will 1.2 be ready?" messages, it's clear that interest in the Blackdown work is reaching some sort of critical mass. Perhaps when the dust settles from the 1.2 port, it might be possible to arrange more formal and detailed visibility into what work is being done, what's under consideration, what's of interest, and progress.

Remote javac/javah compiler?
Hi- Over on the BeOS porting project we're trying to devise a way to build the JDK without a java runtime to run javac or javah. While we can use jikes to replace javac, javah is a bit more difficult. My current idea is replace the javah classloader so that it can load the classes over the network. Thus we could write a javah shell that sends the job to the remote machine for execution and returns the necessary output. It might even be possible to do something similar for javac. Is anyone aware of any previous efforts to do something similar? Thanks, Rob P.S. I'd use rsh and NFS except that the NFS support for BeOS is lacking.

I have been desperately waiting for the JDK 1.2 release and checked your web page daily. In december it was said that you are ready to release in less than month... Today I could not see any information considering JDK 1.2... What has happened to it? Regards, Topi Mäenpää << http://ee.oulu.fi/~topiolli >>
jre
If anyone is listening... I am having trouble getting my application to run with the jre. When I try the jre under the bin directory nothing happens. Here is a portion of my script: jre=../usr/local/ PATH=$jre/bin/:PATH . . . export CLASSPATH=.:$jre/lib/i18n.jar:$jre/lib/rt.jar (LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. jre Sugar "$@# 2>&1) | ./unbrag - When I try using the jre under the "green_threads" directory, I get a "can't find libjava.so" message. Does anyone know the significance of this message or what libjava.so is? Thank you very much. __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
Re: Keyboard mnemonic problem
Whenever I start Motif applications on my linux box the [RETURN] does not work, but strangely enough Control-J work. I basically have given up. Does XBD (X keyboard extension) cure this problem ?

Improving Java/Linux support
>Judging from the volume of "when will 1.2 be ready?" messages, it's >clear that interest in the Blackdown work is reaching some sort of >critical mass. With 1.1.7, Linux is either the best or second best Unix platform for running Java. Solaris is obviously alright, but most of the other Java ports (SGI, Digital Unix, etc) have really bad problems. The Blackdown team has produced quality. Combine that with the general interest in Linux and you can see why Java on Linux is so desired. Heck, we even had one of Sun's big distributed Java gurus asking us when 1.2 would be ported for Linux :-) >Perhaps when the dust settles from the 1.2 port, it might be possible >to arrange more formal and detailed visibility into what work is >being done, what's under consideration, what's of interest, and progress. I'd like to see more information about the porting process myself, but that's asking the porting team to do even *more* work. The old rules for Java made doing a Linux-style port awkward; things had to be discussed in secret, code couldn't be released, etc. What's the impact of the new community source licensing? Maybe we can open up the porting process some? I haven't reviewed the licenses well enough. A second thing to watch is the growth of Japhar and Classpath. My impression is that this code is quality, that we might soon see a truly viable open source Java. Of course, I said that about Kaffe too, but that's never quite come to fruition. Another interesting option is to see if we can get financial support for the Linux porters. I was sort of hoping Sun would do this, by donating some engineers' time, but maybe that's not come together. Maybe some of the companies relying on Java/Linux could be convinced to chip in some money? That would again put more responsibility on the part of the porters, but in this case with a reward for doing it. [EMAIL PROTECTED] . . . .. . . . http://www.media.mit.edu/~nelson/
will there be a jdk 2.x??
There used to be a note that jdk1.2/2.0 was 'in progress' now that is no longer there. What is the status for jdk 2.0 for linux?? Thanks and ciao, Christine Tomlinson
Re: Improving Java/Linux support
I have to admit feeling excited but anxious about the 1.2 port. I'm forced to do my development under Windows right now because 1.2 isn't yet available for Linux. The lack of visibility on the porting process makes it easy to forget that the people doing the port are working very hard and not getting paid. But I suppose it would be nice to see the status updated periodically (realizing, of course, that this entails additional work). The lack of information is amazingly demoralizing. Also, if the Intel version is already ready (as the status message on the web site seems to imply--or rather, seemed to; I can't find it now), it would be nice to check it out, even if it's just alpha or beta at this point. In any case, you guys will be heroes when you release it. I'm really looking forward to it. Keep up the good work!

I've been paying attention to this as well, and (unfortunately) I haven't been able to find anything more specific than press releases about semi-open-source JDK development on Sun's site. I'd like to help with the port to 1.2, but it seems pointless to acquire a 1.1 source license in order to do so. -- Matthew Hunter ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

I executed the 1.1 source license with Sun a few weeks ago, and they sent the 1.2 source, so it's worth getting a non-commercial license if you want to see the source. However, the guys doing the port seem to have it well in hand from what I've heard, and the learning curve is a bit steep. Kelly -- Kelly A.

This sounds like it might be related to your Xwindows setup (and therefore XBD), although I'm a little suspect about why it only happens with Motif apps. Keep in mind, that you don't have to use XBD. However, it's the "new and improved" way of doing things, so most distributions default to setting it up. --Chris

Am I the only person on this list who *doesn't* want to help finish the port? :-) I recall an old truism about too many cooks -- as well as some theorems from parallel processing about the difficulties of over-partitioning certain problems. The paucity of information on Sun's site is surprising. The help they're providing for an OS that they don't control is remarkable; it's a bit out of character for them *not* to turn this into a publicity juggernaut. And I doubt they're being low-key in order to avoid offending Microsoft. :-) Nathan Meyers [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think it would be a terrific idea for the Blackdown web page to have a note explaining the progress of JDK 1.2 (as in "don't ask").
