Dear Octave Java developers, I am a member of the Debian Octave Group, and I am currently working on packaging for Debian the Octave Java package that you developed. I have two unrelated questions for you: 1) The files 'src/org/octave/TeXtranslator.java' and 'src/org/octave/TeXcode.java' have "Copyright (c) 2010 Martin Hepperle" but no license in the header. I presume that they are distributed under the GPL version 2 or later, like the rest of the package, but I would like to have an explicit confirmation of this. Please consider adding a license notice in the header in futures releases. 2) I have been able to succesfully build and run the package on Debian with OpenJDK 6 (I just had to rename ".../server/libjvm.so" to ".../client/libjvm.so" in '__java__.cc', since the former does not exist in the Debian OpenJDK 6 package). However, when compiled against GCJ 4.4 or GCJ 4.6, the package crashes Octave. A debug traceback shows that the crash occurs in the JNI call which is supposed to create the VM. I would therefore like to know if you have ever successfully run the Octave Java package against GCJ (or heard about somebody doing so).
