Hi Leo,
I have uploaded my patch to the Wiki. However the patch just forces use of
the jdk15 support class, in order to get the tests up and running. As you
say, a better solution would be to have our own support class.
Regards,
Sian

Hi, Sian:
After some study, I found that it is necessary to treat j9
seperately,....mmm about security and vm library loader. I have not spot
the
precise place.
I think we have first to get a wrapper jvm class like j9_13 derby
gives
but not other standard wrapper class. Then we have to rewrite it java
command-line as "java" but not "j9". Am I all right?
Besides, it will be helpful if you can post your patch of Derby on the
http://wiki.apache.org/harmony/Apache_Derby.:)
Thank you.
