RE: Blackdown's jdk1.2.2 v3 does not run....
I don't have the original message posted by the author who started this
thread but I do wish to reply to his original post.
I just downloaded the Blackdown Java-1.2.2 RC3 JDK. I wasn't planning on
downloading a RC version and wanted to wait for the final release
version, but I had been having a problem in one of my (Swing-based) Java
apps that I wasn't sure was due to my bad coding or a JDK issue. Turned
out to be an error on my part!
Anyways, I have had no problems using the Blackdown 1.2.2 RC3 JDK. I
installed it under:
/usr/local/java/jdk1.2.2
Here are the environment variables that I have set in my .tcshrc to
point to this new JDK:
setenv JAVA_HOME /usr/local/java/jdk1.2.2
setenv PATH $JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
(no CLASSPATH necessary!)
Here are their current values:
@phoenix:[/home/ssahmed] echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/local/java/jdk1.2.2
@phoenix:[/home/ssahmed] echo $PATH
/home/ssahmed/bin:/usr/local/java/jdk1.2.2/bin:/home/ssahmed/bin:/usr/local/netscape:/usr/local/GNUstep/Apps/WPrefs.app:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/X11R6/bin
Other than a few (visual) oddities in some Swing widgets, this JDK seems
to be working fine, so far! To the original author of the thread: it
would seem to be a configuration issue on your machine that is causing
the problems that you are/were experiencing with the Blackdown 1.2.2 RC3
JDK.
HTH,
PS: I also ran the SwingSet demo program that comes with 1.2.2 JDK, and
it ran fine too.
