As an initial test, just run java -version If that produces something like java version "1.3.1-p6" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1-p6-glewis-020219-22:55) Classic VM (build 1.3.1-p6-glewis-020219-22:55, green threads, nojit) then try java -jar /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/demo/jfc/SwingSet2/SwingSet2.jar That will definitely give the X part of the code a decent work out. If you want something simpler on the X side try java -jar /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/demo/jfc/SimpleExample/SimpleExample.jar > I could just go hunting random java apps, but thought someone here > might have a decent pointer to try.

Java itself should provide all of these (the java executable is just a symlink to a shell script which sets up environment variables before invoking the actual executable). > I promise to put all this in an article, btw, to hopefully reduce > future support load on you guys. :-) Cool :). I'd certainly proof read it for you if that would be helpful. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
