Ah right. Actually, it's not a Sun-specific issue, it's a 1.2-specific issue. "The extension mechanism is a new feature in the JavaTM 1.2 platform. The extension mechanism provides a standard, scalable way to make custom APIs available to all applications running on the Java platform." -- http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ext/ So kaffe doesn't have a lib/ext, I presume, but any 1.2-compliant VM should. --Jeff > > Ben.
