Re: Debian Woody (2.4 kernel) testing and Blackdown J2SDK 1.3.1
Thanks Rob,
This is not Eclipse -specific. I used to get the same error with other
Java Demos, only I can't verify it now because the fricking Java3D
installer kicked out all the other demos!!!
I think I got this every time I tried one of the demos that are
packaged as a *.jar. those that come as classes usually worked.
... at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open (Native Method) at
java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:110)
Java/util is part of the core java language and can't be missing. ..And
doesn't seem to be missing. It seems to behave as if some other file it
depends on is missing.
The file it wants to open should be the *.jar file that is specified in
the java.. command and that is definitely THERE, if I try to invoke
java -jar with some nonexistant file the error message is different.
Hence, it seems the native method java.util.zip.ZipFile.open() that is
part of the Binary from Blackdown must be faulty.
Then again, that seems hardly possible because most Java applications
come as a *.jar so it would surely have been detected.
Considering all this, a problem with a library (*.so) that is used by
the JVM (libjvm.so) seems to make most sense. That could conceivably be
a ZIP library, wrong version number or something, and I would have
expected dselect to inform me about any such missing or conflicting
library.
Is maybe something wrong with my sources.list:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/debian
woody main non-free
clueless,
Lukas
