Hi! I think I've found a bug in patchset 8: After successfully installing and running Forte4J it seems to work very stable except some redraw problems in the menus. I think this is a known problem (I'm using Lesstif)!? The default font.properties is unusable, because the fonts have wrong metrics (The size seems to be correct but there is extra space above and below the characters). Installing the URW fonts with the correspoding font.propteries worked for me. And here comes the bug: all external programm execution doesn't work! e.g. compiling with jikes or running cvs commands. The external programm terminates but the IDE is waiting forever. I've written a small program that reproduces this problem: import java.io.*; public class ExecTest { public static void main(String args[]) { try { Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] { "date" }); proc.waitFor(); } catch (Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } } } the call to waitFor() never returns. With the JDK 1.1.8 and Blackdown's RC4 the waitFor() call is returning immediatly. I'm running FreeBSD 4.0-Stable. Aside from this all my self-written programms are working fine!!! I'm heavily using JDBC, RMI, JAI, CORBA (ORBacus) and many threads (but no calls to waitFor)... Very nice work :-) bye, Volker To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
