Yes you can also use JAVA_COMPILER. I hadn't heard nor seen anything about NONE being legal but I'll check tomorrow when I get back to my copy of the sources. The .so extension is not required for a non-Un*x system which is why you don't add it to the '-Djava.compiler=...' switch. I'm pretty sure the .so extension is hear to stay for all (at least FreeBSD :) Unices for some time to come. # Do you know otherwise? I mean, has your work with the JDK 1.2 # code shown that the reference platform retains the 1.1.x # semantics for JAVA_COMPILER and/or -Djava.compiler=, JavaSoft's # protestations notwithstanding? From what I've seen so far, yes 1.2 uses the same semantics for both the env. variable and the commandline, but I could have overlooked something. I really haven't made it that far yet. I've only just begun to scratch the surface of getting something that doesn't resemble a twisted mess of broken symlinks. :) -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
