Re: libbsf-java
Hi Michael,
I also post to list - my fault as I forget to post to list
in last message.

Please don't use jamvm in general. It's only available on i386, powerpc
and arm. It's not ported yet to other archs and Porting to 64-bit archs
is hard due to the 32-bit ugliness in the upstream code.
Better choices are gij, kaffe or sablevm.
You are right !
But, kaffe is atm horrible broken for most package builds due to
bug (#295014). Every second package fails due to this bug to build.
libbsf-java is one of them thats why I had to switch. I already
contacted upstream but didn't get any response so far.
This is AFAIK solved upstream. Arnaud only needs to finish the deb.
No it is not. I just build a local cvs version. And it is the same
error in gc-incremental.c:1305 (just 5 lines moved) !
Sablevm is also broken and doesn't work at all for building with ant.
Its a known problem (#293509) and solved in upstream. According to
the devel list of sablevm they had some regressions with the 1.10
release and a 1.11 release is expected soon - and hopefully packaged.
Afaik this was fixed in an NMU. The bug was in classpath some time ago.
I think sablevm just merged it at the wrong moment.
Well I have an uptodate unstable system. And it continues to fail.
Bug #293509 is also not marked as done - just another in
sablevm-classlib is marked as done through the NMU.
With gij I must say I have not yet tried - wait a second ....
Ok with either gij-3.4 or gij-wrapper-3.4 I get the following ???
Same for gij-3.3.
cd . && /usr/bin/gij-wrapper-3.4 -classpath /usr/share/ant1.6/lib/ant.jar:/usr/share/ant1.6/lib/ant-launcher.jar:
/usr/share/java/xalan2.jar:/usr/share/java/servlet-2.3.jar:

while resolving class: org.apache.tools.ant.Diagnostics
make: *** [debian/stamp-ant-build] Fehler 1
No idea about this yet.
Strange - gij has also no verbose switch according to the help so one
could see what gets loaded.
For libxalan2-java - jamvm is the only possibility (as I see) to build
it with free vm's as no other vm has the ability to overwrite certain
packages (see the libxalan2-java posting - DOM Level 2 is needed)
This would mean we could build the package only on selected Debian
archs. That is no solution and we will get a FTBFS bug as soon as its
uploaded using jamvm. And FTBFS are release-critical.
Well you are right. But then libxalan2-java will be not moveable to main
for a long time - until the endorsed feature is implemented.
Maybe (this is just speculation) if I succeed in building it with jamvm
we could talk to the release team to make an exception for only this
package ? This would serve the whole community as libxalan2 is a real
blocker. But as said - just speculation. I will also keep testing with
other vm's and write to the kaffe/sablevm devel lists for possiblities
to find a way for overwriting the DOM level 3 classes.
