I'm getting down to last major bugs during this run and I'm making the attempt at trying to run an applet. I recently fixed an obscure bug that was self introduced during a GCC bug hunting session (fixed when using GCC 3.0.4) and that left over line sucked about 1 month of my time trying to track it down. I'm recompiling it right now so that the debug log is limited and I can track what's going on with the JIT better. But it looked like it started the entire core compiler correctly, tried to run an applet, failed to find the class's "main" and successfully threw an exception complaining about it. That means a bunch of stuff is working in HotSpot. ;) That's incredible encouraging and my jaw dropped when I saw it do a long run with lots of method invocations. ;) bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
