Can the current diffs be posted somewhere so people who have executed a non-commercial source license with Sun can try to help with the port? I see nothing in the Source license I signed (even though it says version 1.1.x at the top, but they sent me 1.2 sources) to keep the platform-dependent di

I realize this is off-topic and off-list, but I have tried twice to email Rob Schoening privately and both times the email bounced. And the fact is I'm rather desparate. I saw Rob's post regarding Java on the BeOS and it renewed my hopes. Is there any Java port for the BeOS? I don't care what ver

Out of curiosity, how is this policy (of not being able to release any source code) affected, if at all, by the new Java license, if and when it applies to the platform? Can source code be distributed in patch form (as it normally is anyhow) before the finished product passes the JCK, under the ne

Offering help on 1.2.

1999-02-01 Thread Sean Kellner
The status report lists that the current holdup is in a threading issue. So is there any way to create a new piece of source that would display the problem without any restrictions from Sun? This would allow quite a few kernel hackers to go over it and at least see if the bug is in linuxthreads
