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. > I suggest that turning -deprecation on is a bad idea, since you're not > actually interested in the use of deprecated code.

Yup -- and I untarred it fresh after I mucked up the permissions on the first one. > It does work under NetBSD, or patchset 5 will at least :) 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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
