Call for Volunteers
C A L L F O R V O L U N T E E R S! -- The BlackDown Java-Linux (http://www.blackdown.org/java-linut.html) JDK porting effort needs your help to improve the Linux ports of Sun's Java Development Kit. We have needs for volunteers in all areas and for all flavors of Linux (x86, Sparc, PowerPC and Alpha) to help reinvigorate the ports. If you have any skills in C programming, java programming, Motif widget sets, LessTif, X11, signal handlers, user-based threading, kernel-based threading, cgi programming, automated regression testing, or bug eradication, we would love to have you join our team! The entire porting effort is done under Sun's non-commercial source license (http://www.javasoft.com/nav/business/license_dl.html) which has basically 4 restrictions. 1. you may not give the source code to anyone 2. you may not make any money from your porting effort 3. ports are restricted to non-Sun supported platforms 4. diffs can be release/shared Please read the source license available in pdf or ps versions from the link given above for complete details and judge for yourself! By the way, if you haven't used the BlackDown Linux JDK in a while, please check it out again. We have made significant progress recently and have just released JDK 1.1.6 v4 which fixes many bugs including some that resulted in poor performance on the Volano Mark 1.0 tests. There is a mailing list, jitterbug bug database, and links to java tools, swing 1.0.3, HotJava Browser 1.1.4, JIT compilers, IDE's such as FreeBuilder, NetBeans, and Simplicity, etc. If you are interested in joining our effort to help make the Blackdown JDK port, the best way for developers to develop their Java applications, please contact Karl Asha ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) directly or make a posting to our open mailing list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, The Java-Linux Porting Team
[ANNOUNCE]: JDK-1.1.6v4a
NOTE: The JDK may take a few hours to appear on the mirror sites. Please
be patient.
Announcing: Java Development Kit 1.1.6 Version 4a for Linux
---
Your Blackdown Linux JDK porting team is pleased to announce
its Version 4a port of Sun's Java Development Kit 1.1.6 for
Linux x86.
New in this Release
---
* This is our v4a port of Sun's JDK 1.1.6 final.
- fix for removes from choice list (a Sun bug)
- new fix for set frames non-resizable
- fix for mwm based window manager frame positioning
- fix for disappearing frames problem (a Sun bug)
- fix for open sockets causing poor GUI performance
- fix for kernel accept() bug, which caused slow Java Web Server
- turn-off by: export JDK_NO_KERNEL_FIX=true
- improvements in Russian font properties
- fix for CET to be Central European Time
- fix for Button 1 modifier values
and many many more fixes since Version 2
You can find a download site via http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux.html
"Download the JDK for Linux" link.
**Other Notes**
- Most, if not all, troubles with the JDK seg-faulting or
aborting on Linux x86 are really the result of old/incompatible
sets of shared libraries being used. If you run into these
troubles, please check out the FAQ available from:
http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux.html
- The libc5 version of jdk116_v4a was built on a Debian 1.3.1
machine running Motif 2.0.1 with gcc-2.8.1, and the glibc
version was built on a RedHat 5.0 machine running SWiM
Motif 2.1 with egcs-2.91.41.
- Some problems with Motif and TextFields can be worked around
by pre-Loading libBrokenlocale.so before invoking java. See
the Blackdown Java-Linux Mailing list archive for more info
- Please check out the README.linux release notes. For help,
see the FAQ and the Java-Linux mailing list:
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
- Please report all bugs to the Jitterbug Java-Linux Bug
Database at: http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux.html
Thanks especially go to:
Steve Byrne, Karl Asha, Stephen Wynne, Juergen Kreileder,
Johan Vos, Michael Sinz, Scott Hutinger, and Kevin Hendricks
Have Fun!

There will be a release of the activator fcs done up with the latest

Long story. So far as the jdbc list goes, it needs to find a new home basically, I'm cutting down on the number of lists I house at the site and restricting them only to java-linux related stuff.

Re: Need a Java/Linux RedHat 5.0 configuration where getLocalHost works
The answer is pretty simple. The JDK finds out its information using
gethostname(). This information is something that's been previously
set at system boot up with the sethostname syscall. The problem isn't really
the jdk, it's how your system is setup. If you type 'hostname' on the command
line, and you get localhost, that's what java's getLocalHost() is gonna
give you too. You need to look into having your machine setup correctly,
and that usually revolves around a properly setup /etc/hosts.
That's pretty much the extent of getLocalhost()...it does a gethostname,
a gethostbyname to pull up the full host/domain, and then a gethostbyaddr
to provide you the address.
Hope this helps out,
Cheers,
Karl Asha

Jitterbug system for Java-Linux
Hi folks, I've just put up a test of the jitterbug bug tracking system on www.blackdown.org. If all goes well, this will soon become the formal way to report bugs, view reported bugs, and get up to the minute information on where bugs stand in being solved, etc.. Give it a whirl at http://www.blackdown.org/cgi-bin/jdk Steve, when you get a chance, I'll brief you on how to make use of the developer side of the interface. Cheers, Karl

Bug reporting..
Folks, small favour to ask, but we're trying to organise the bug reporting that's going on. At the same time as you send things off to the java-linux list, please be sure and visit http://www.blackdown.org/cgi-bin/jdk and file an official bug report through the interface so that we can keep track of them and get things solved in an orderly fashion. Thanks, Karl Asha [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Java app without X installed

[ATTENTION]: Mailing List Changes
I'd like to do one of two things with this mailing list, as it's really become a significant amount of traffic. Either move it to a newsgroup, or move it to a place willing to host the java-linux and java-linux-digest lists. The world unfortunately isn't a place of free bandwidth forever and I have to make some decisions. Now my main request is for someone to hold my hand through getting a newsgroup proposed and possibly approved. Alternatively, I would really appreciate a -stable- (and by stable I mean someplace that isn't going to die within a week) to host the mailing lists. If you can help with either of these, please let me know. As a side note, this isn't the start of a massive move of the site or anything else. The only issue is the mailing list, which is just a constant bandwidth and i/o load on the machine. Thanks, Karl Asha [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'll send you a private email if you don't mind verifying have the right address. Some the pages on the site may have an old address. I am very interested in this. I did build the blackdown java 1.1.4 i think, some many years ago. At that time the patches were more available. I understand there are good reasons for the current policy and have no dispute with that. But now i would like (need) to have an up to date sparc version, as the java sdk is used for porting openoffice.org (also from sun). As sun do not provide a sparc linux port of java, then I need a sun java sparc port from blackdown to build the sparc port of sun openoffice.org on sun hardware, (yes!) I am willing and eager to help, so please inform the list (or if necessary privately) when you have a final answer on how the diffs may be obtained. I supprt the blackdown team and respect their rights to decide how they handle this, but it would just be useful to know if it is possible and how one may help. many thanks jim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
