I am not aware of anyone else making regular use of it. But they might be. It came up on a java forum because OpenGL code in a java Swing app I think was getting errors for not being on the main thread. Which -XstartOnFirstThread is supposed to accomplish. I got into it because a long time back Apple was working on a Cocoa Java bridge. Some of that to work correctly also had to be on the main thread. I came up with a little stub that would do a callback into java on the native thread. Basically perform selector on main the java callback. However, since it was indicated that the java jdk providing a fix for -XstartOnFirstThread would be a preferred solution. I decided to look at that some. I have sort of concluded that most likely isn’t going to fly. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
