Hi Tudor, some progress in Pharo 5:

When I ran „JVM newWithSettings: jvmSettings“, a notifier opened which warned about the deprecated method. I changed the method which used it in the debugger, then proceeded. The image blocked until I hit <cmd-.>. A debugger opened, it was in the middle of writing to the Pharo error log file. I proceeded, the image blocked again, I hit <cmd-.> again. A debugger opened which contained a very large stack of contexts with the method handleSignal: calling itself endlessly. There seems to be something wrong with handling/logging deprecation warnings in Pharo 5. Why do they have to be written to the error log in the first place? I don’t think that they belong there. There are four methods sending subStrings: in the package JNIPort-Java-Base. I changed them to use substrings: instead. There are two methods in JNIPort-StringEncoding which send "Smalltalk isLittleEndian“, String>>#asJavaLangStringEncodedByteArray and String>>#fromJavaLangStringEncodedByteArray:. This does not work anymore. I replaced this with "EndianDetector isLittleEndian“. After these changes, starting a JVM and executing the example script which you posted just worked fine. Unfortunately, loading the test package JNIPort-Tests-Java-Base fails with an exception: UTF8InvalidText(Object)>>subclassResponsibility UTF8InvalidText(Exception)>>defaultAction UndefinedObject>>handleSignal: Context>>handleSignal: AFAIK, there was no problem when loading the package in Pharo 3. There seem to be two problems: The UTF8TextConverter seems to think that there is an invalid character in the source code file, and UTF8InvalidText has no #defaultAction method. Looks like a bug in Pharo 5 to me.
