JIT or Hotspot?
From what I understand there is no JIT or Hotspot in Blackdown, correct? What's the status of this exactly? Can we expect to see one soon? I haven't had much problem with Blackdown, but it is a bit too slow without a JIT. I was going to try IBM Java for Linux, but I'm stuck with Kernel 2.2 for some hardware compatibility issues, so I guess I can't use that right now.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Java 2 Standard Edition v1.3.1-02b-FCS for Linux on i386, PPC and Sparc
Could someone post release notes for this version to this list or at least point us to a link? I am particularly interested in the PPC version. I believe the release notes are inside the package but I'd rather see what was fixed before I download the tar.

File jni_md.h
Blackdown Java 1.3.1-02a for PPC I'm trying to recompile a program written in Java which make some native calls written in C. I'm getting the error: jni_md.h: No such file or directory I know that some people have recompiled this program on Intel boxes, so is this a problem with Blackdown PPC Java?

Re: File jni_md.h
OK, I think I got this fixed by changing a path in the Makefile. However, there seem to be a lot of missing fonts when I run the program. (?) (I see lots of warnings in the console) Drew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Metroworks JIT for PPC
Hi, I noticed there is an old JIT compiler for PPC by Metroworks. Will this work with Blackdown 1.3.1 for PPC? Will it be any faster than the interpreter? I think I really need a JIT.

Linux Fonts
No, in fact it looks like the same properties file I was already using. The exact message is: Font specified in font.properties not found [--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific] Font specified in font.properties not found [--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific] Font specified in font.properties not found [--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific] Font specified in font.properties not found [--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific] Font specified in font.properties not found [--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific] Font specified in font.properties not found [--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific] Drew jordan muscott wrote: Does replacing your JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/font.properties file with this one : http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/font.properties help at all? regards, jordan. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Linux Fonts
Thanks for all the help with the Linux font problem. I finally got it fixed today. This article helped: http://community.borland.com/article/0,1410,21836,00.html I also had to tweak the font.properties file. Regards, Drew p.s. I'm still dying to use a JIT with Linux PPC. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Slow list
Yes, it is very slow. Perhaps this is a moderated list? (although I don't see why it would be) Drew Hi List Has anybody got an idea about why this list is so slow? When people send a message it takes an average of 45 min. from a mail is sent to the list till it is received by the people on the list making it hard to ask quick questions. To Drew Lane: Sorry for sending this mail to you first. My mistake. Jacob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Roadmap ? (JIT for PPC)
From what was said here previously, Apple won't share their code with the Blackdown folks, so a JIT is not in the plans. This is certainly very dissapointing as Java without a JIT can be as slow as mollases (it seems to depend on what you're doing). You could try the Java SDK from IBM, but I've read that people have had mixed results on the Linux PPC platform. It's too bad that Sun won't help with this. (?) I'm not sure if financial support will help with this, but it would be interesting to hear from Blackdown about this. Drew Franck Routier wrote: Hello, Is 1.4.0 for PPC with JIT still on its way ?
