There's a bug triggered by Eclipse's editor that makes it pretty useless to run said software. I guess (notice the use of the word guess) that the utmost reason is that they use GCC 3.2 to compile the JDK and Mozilla is usually compiled with a newer GCC with incompatible ABI. You'll find bug reports in Sun's BTS explaining that the JDK does not compile with GCC 3.3 or newer, and that it's not trivial to fix. If I recall correctly, the target release for a fix is Mustang (Java 6). -- Javier Kohen <jkohen@users.sourceforge.net> ICQ: blashyrkh #2361802 Jabber: jkohen@jabber.org
