"satisfying Java solution under Debian"
Good Morning, on the Debian booth at the Linux World Exposition in Frankfurt / Germany, we had a visitor, whome you might find interessting. He offered 5000 Euro for an "satisfying sollution for Java in Debian". As far as I know, he liked to run programs, which need JDK 1.4 on an stable realease of Debian, only using packages in main. I'm sorry, but I can't tell you details, since I neither use Java, nor talked to him personly. I have his business card here, if you like to contact him, just drop me a mail. BTW: He comes from austria and I don't know, if he speaks english. Yours sincerely, Alexander pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Unfortunately, as he states the requirements, I don't think that anyone is going to be able to help him. JDK 1.4 (or any of Sun's releases) is not free software, and only free software can go into main... so if he really needs JDK 1.4, then there's nothing anyone can do for him. If he just needs something that works as a functional replacement for JDK 1.4, then perhaps one of the free VMs would do... though I believe that all of them are significantly short of full JDK 1.4 compatibility, particularly in the UI areas. This is of course something that would have to be evaluated on a program-by-program basis. Bringing any of the free VMs up to full JDK 1.4 compatibility would likely take significantly more (as in orders of magnitude more) than 5000 Euros. If he's willing to run Sun's version of JDK 1.4 compiled for linux (which is not in main and not in a .deb, but can be obtained from Sun's website at no charge), then all it needs to run on Woody is a couple backrev .so libraries (which are in main). Not ideal, but it works. - Alex PS. Feel free to pass this note on to him, though I doubt that it's what he wants to hear. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug Status of Kaffe
Hi all, I'd like to know the status of some bugs from Kaffe. Dalibor, if you don't have all the answers, I'll send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For each bugs, I'd like to know if: 1° Is it a bug in the Debian package or is it a problem in Kaffe? 2° Is it resolved or does it still exist? #207998 kaffe: Passing extra JNI directories breaks bootstrap classes , | Version: 1:1.1.1-1 | | When passing additional JNI directories to kaffe using | -Djava.library.path=..., the normal system libraries no longer | seem to get loaded. ` #136148 kaffe's ClassLoader.getSystemResource( "foo/" ) returns null , | Version: 1:1.0.6-6.1 | | The problem arises when requesting a directory, thru | getResource(). Kaffe returns null, while j2sdk1.3.1 returns a | proper URL. It would appear that kaffe is wrong in this regard. ` #159162 sid Kaffe does not support LFS , | Version: 1.0.6 | | Kaffe fails when extending files to more than 2Gb-1 (when | running freenet). This suggests it has been compiled without | large file support. ` #169229 kaffe: Please provide real manpages for non-kaffe scripts , | Version: 1.0.7-1 | | The manpages for jar and other non-kaffe (non-java) scripts are | all symlinks to kaffe.1.gz, which doesn't provide any | information about them at all. For all practical purposes, | this is the equivalent of an undocumented.7.gz link. Please | provide real manpages for these. ` #175877 kaffe: Scrollpane has no size; is otherwise broken , | Version: 1:1.0.7-1 | | A Scrollpane doesn't seem to want to take up any space. An | example showing the bug is: | http://www.scism.sbu.ac.uk/jfl/hci97/morning/scrollpane/ScrollPaneExample.java ` #197090 Assertion failure during babel run/build This bug is vague... #200434 jni.h and other header files in different directories , | Version: 1:1.0.7-3 | | I have problems trying to compile a file that includes jni.h. | The compiler fails to find the included files. | | The bug has been closed when 1:1.1.1-1 has been uploaded, but | Adam Heath has reopen it (I don't know why). ` #210716 jython causes kaffe to fail with assert error , | Version: 1:1.1.1-1 | | > After removing the JNI lines from jython shell script (see | > issue #207998) kaffe dies with kaffe-bin: machine.c:620: | > installMethodCode: Assertion `e->start_pc <= e->end_pc' | > failed. | | Is this releated to #167936? I would imagine one of the | reasons those lines are in the jython script is because of | bugs like #167936. | | >> #167936 Please include /usr/lib/jni in default JNI search | >> path ` #211357 Kaffe doesn't need libffi on PowerPC any longer , | Version: 1.1.1-2 | | Kaffe doesn't need libffi on PowerPC any longer.
