Hi,

I really ought to have held off writing last time until I had more than
two minutes to think =)

Really, the sensible thing to do would be to check if the file:
  j2sdk1.3.1/src/share/classes/com/sun/org/omg/CORBA/ValueDefPackage/
         FullValueDescriptionHelper.java

existed or not.  Strangely enough, it didn't in my untarring of the file.
I had 'FullValueDescriptionHelper.java0100444' or some such file instead.
A simple rename fixed the problem.

Yes =) me takes clue stick and gets to know it a little better.

Yup -- and I untarred it fresh after I mucked up the permissions on the
first one.

Woohoo!  As I said before, I'm mainly playing as a detour to getting
OpenOffice to work.  I could use the linux jdk under emulation, but I
figure that there's some advantage in a native version!

Out of interest, and possibly to demonstrate my complete lack of
understanding of the real issues, is there a version of the JDK that is
designed to use POSIX threads?  I see lots of references to 'native
threads' and I can understand that thread support in Java needs to
have support from the OS.  What I find odd is that there seems to be some
porting involved to convert from the Linux thread support to *BSD.  Surely
the implementation was written to use the Pthread API, and is thus
portable already?

cheers,
Will
