This is a new set of ALPHA source code patches for the JDK 1.2.2 source. These patches are unofficial and no abuse should be directed towards the FreeBSD java porting team for them :). This new set (patchset 8) can be gotten from http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsd-jdk122-patches-8.tar.gz (this message is included in the tar ball as the file ANNOUNCEMENT). Note that the latest version of the patchset can always be gotten from http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsd-jdk122-patches-latest.tar.gz Please read the file THANKS for a list of the large number of people who should be thanked that things have gotten this far! The following ISSUES have been addressed since patchset 7 (see the ISSUES files for more details -- note that issues fixed since patchset 4 with no adverse affects reported have been removed). Issue 2. The JDK now almost runs correctly on FreeBSD 2.2.x thanks to Chuck Reiss and Nate Williams. That is to say, java and javac both appear to be working, but Nate is having some trouble with javadoc. Issue 15. Using 16 bpp colour depth is now supported. Additional problems that hadn't made it to the ISSUES list that have been addressed in this patchset: 1. Crashes with the *_g debugging executable (thanks to Chuck Reiss and Fuyuhiko Maruyama who independently sent fixes for this). 2. Fix a function in libawt.so that was causing crashes with the DitherTest applet (thanks to Fuyuhiko Maruyama). 3. Allow JITs to handle SIGSEGV. Needed by shuJIT, OpenJIT and Sun's JIT (thanks to Fuyuhiko Maruyama). 4. Really support extra locales (thanks to Shin'ya Kamabuchi for convincing me that the original fix I received was the right one, not the one I did for patchset 7). 5. Fix an integer type mismatch with javah (thanks to Fuyuhiko Maruyama). 6. Load the correct file encoding support (thanks to Shin'ya Kamabuchi). 7. Fix the socket reading bug (thanks to Shin'ya Kamabuchi). In addition to this, some more of the fixes from the released Linux JDK source code have been merged in (including the 16 bpp support mentioned above). You should notice some general improvements in graphical layout. For more information about the port, consult Kees Jan Koster's web pages at http://web.inter.nl.net/users/kjkoster/java/index.html Please test as much as possible! -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 5083 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
