Hi folks, I downloaded the glibc2.1 version of the JDK 1.2 release. It installed fine. But I'm having trouble running it. $ javac FontDemo.java /usr/local/java/bin/i386/green_threads/javac: error in loading shared libraries libhpi.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is how I personally feel and would urge anyone in the same boat to help row, errr... to support this. I would like some indication FROM Blackdown for the following things just so I'm not so in the dark: - The current status of the 1.2 JDK - If they are pleased with its progress -

Testing once again, please ignore.

I too am very concerned with this issue and don't know what to say. My hat goes off for Blackdown. But even if the Blackdown effort produced a working, native thread VM tomorrow, would it support a JIT, much less HotSpot? Performance is really bad and pure Java tools like NetBeans and TogetherJ do

Hi all, With Window, you can do almost all you can do with Frames, but, in spite of Frames, Windows do not appear at the taskbar (at least on Windows systems, I suppose for X Window managers similar behaviour can be observed). IMHO the better AWT design would be to allow to select this behavior a
