I changed it to ksh then hand-tuned the jws config file, as the install made some mess in it. It was easy to figure out that, but I can't remember the details (some paths were incorrectly formed). I made jws to use our native jdk1.2.2 (not ceasing to thank enough for the porters :-), but you could use any available jre, of course. By adjusting your jnlp files you can control what jre jws will use for running a given application.

You don't, because executables are inherently platform dependent. If you don't like to type command line, use shell scripts and batch files to make it more friendly. If you're looking for a Java to native compiler, do a websearch for Java to C or C++ compilers. I doubt they're very useful, because I think they won't support dynamic code loading. That is arguably one of the more useful features of Java. Kees Jan PS.

I'm trying to port one of our software packages to the FreeBSD platform. It currently works on Win32, Solaris and Linux, and we have customer who'd like to see it run on FreeBSD.

So, I've downloaded an built a version of the jdk from your installation instructions. I believe that I have followed the instructions to a "t".  However the java compiler is choking on the following code segment

private final int m_maxValuesPerName;

The compiler is complaining about: 

Blank final variable 'm_maxValuesPerName' may not have been initialized. It must  be assigned a value in an initializer, or in every constructor.


Even though the constructor assigns a value to the final variable.

I've tried adding a default constructor but that didn't fix the problem.

The only solution so far has been to remove the "final" keyword from the declaration.

Have you heard of this issue?  Is there a solution?

You might also initialize it either in a static block (if it is a final static) or in the constructors. The key is that it can only be assigned to once. -- Self-discovery is useless unless I discover I am somebody else. -- Dan Goodman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-java Fri Mar 23 6: 4:52 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-java@freebsd.org Received: from firewall.ox.com (firewall.ox.com [129.77.1.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3EC1937B71A for ; Fri, 23 Mar 2001 06:04:48 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from rfurphy@ox.com) Received: from firewall.ox.com (root@localhost) by firewall.ox.com with ESMTP id JAA28701 for ; Fri, 23 Mar 2001 09:04:47 -0500 (EST) Received: from pur-sv-exchgw1.ny.ox.com (pur-sv-exchgw1.ny.ox.com [129.77.2.49]) by firewall.ox.com with ESMTP id JAA28697 for ; Fri, 23 Mar 2001 09:04:47 -0500 (EST) Received: from ox.com (rfurphy.ny.ox.com [129.77.2.97]) by pur-sv-exchgw1.ny.ox.com with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service Version 5.5.2653.13) id 17HPFYS6; Fri, 23 Mar 2001 09:04:47 -0500 Message-ID: <3ABB57F9.2090101@ox.com> Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2001 09:04:41 -0500 From: Rob Furphy User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.17-14smp i686; en-US; 0.8.1) Gecko/20010321 X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-java@freebsd.org Subject: possible bug in port of javac Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-java@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Some documentation may clear up what is supposed to happen.

This can be caused by a number of problems and since you didn't post the code in question it is hard to say what is at fault. Try and isolate the fault by compiling with the Jikes compiler or with the same version of javac on a different platform as suggested by others in this thread. If the problem doesn't manifest itself on the alternative compiler you have probably spotted a compiler bug. You will then have to produce a small test case demonstrating the problem and submit it to the compiler maintainers. It is not unlikely that your problem is caused by a compiler bug. Most compiler bugs I have seen manifest themselves when you use inner classes or static{} initilizers but Javasoft doesn't really have a track record of producing reliable code so I'd expect anything. (To be fair, Jikes 1.13 has some analysis bugs as well.) > Even though the constructor assigns a value to the final variable. > > I've tried adding a default constructor but that didn't fix the > problem.

For so-called "blank final" variables, JLS s. 4.5.4, assignment comes in the instance call--the constructor. In the old days, JDK 1.1 had a bug where you could later change a final value. (This was fixed for Java2 generation compilers, IIRC, and was probably patched to JDK 1.1 generation compilers as well.)

I think so. Of course, differences arise when using references and not primitives. (Java acts as if every field in a const object reference were declared 'mutable', while C++ is the opposite, and requires const object fields to be declared mutable.) Anyone have a demonstration snippet involving constructor assignment of a blank final variable? -- David Dagon /"\ "When cryptography dagon@cc.gatech.edu \ / ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN is outlawed, bayl Collage(sic) o' Computing X AGAINST HTML MAIL bhgynjf jvyy unir Georgia Inst. o' Tech. / \ cevinpl."

The code segment in question compiles under other Jdk 1.2 plaforms, including Solaris (jdk 1.2.2_05), Win32, and Linux. It compiles with javac or jikes under all of these platforms. When I was porting to the FreeBSD platform, I originally tried using the jikes (version 1.12 that came as part of my 4.2 distribution). Unfortunately, it immediately threw up some errors which I later solved. As it turns out, this version of jikes doesn't like relative pathnames when given a explicit classpath. Fortunately, after reworking the classpath on the compiler invocation, our software now compiles with jikes under the FreeBSD platform. However the source still fails to compile with the javac that I have built. I'm working on developing a small test code segment. The ones I have built so far all compile smoothly, so I know it has to be some set of complex conditions, or perhaps the size of the class, that is causing the compiler to fail. I'll continue to try and get this issue resolved. There have been many questions as to why we use the private static final invocation. Infact, we use it over 100 places in our code mainly to introduce static final class specific constants that may need to change with different constructors. For example, in this instance we want to assign an integer a constant, but have that constant vary on a class instance basis, based on which constructor was called. I want to give thanks to all those who have written me back. This level of support was unexpected and very appreciated.

This can be caused by a number of problems and since you didn't post the code in question it is hard to say what is at fault. Try and isolate the fault by compiling with the Jikes compiler or with the same version of javac on a different platform as suggested by others in this thread. If the problem doesn't manifest itself on the alternative compiler you have probably spotted a compiler bug. You will then have to produce a small test case demonstrating the problem and submit it to the compiler maintainers. It is not unlikely that your problem is caused by a compiler bug. Most compiler bugs I have seen manifest themselves when you use inner classes or static{} initilizers but Javasoft doesn't really have a track record of producing reliable code so I'd expect anything.
