Yeah, we're both hitting the native threading stuff at the same time in our development process. [Some Status] Most recently I've been trying to figure out why appletviewer hangs when I run it. Some investigation reveals that the main applet thread is being created but some how doesn't wake up the thread group abstraction (also a thread used for applet thread management) that's suppose to block on it until the applet context gets properly created. I've been relooking at the first pass of the native threading code #ifdef block choices to make sure that wait-queue notifications, joining, etc... are done correctly. It could also be some kind of Sun/AWT glue layer problem (+ security layer ?), but I won't know until I do some investigation. We'll see. Last weekend I was trying to get my half corrupted FreeBSD -current installation back running again but replaced a new version of -stable. The intention here was to work with Greg on native threading and X related problems (taking a break from my own BSD/OS port), but machine maintenance ended up sucking the entire weekend, so I didn't get a chance to work on anything. :-\ Oh, well. I'm going to investigation why the applet threading crap is blowing it tonight for a little while, but trying to get my brain to context switch into threading + Swing/Sun crap is a bit difficult after getting a bit overloaded with gdb internals. Fortunately that got fixed by another super senior engineer in our group and I don't have to deal with that any more. ;-) bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
