Re: Kaffe and Status
Hello! Jikes is not written in Java, so it will not work under KaffeOS. KaffeOS ??? Where can I find more information about it? Do you plan to have a command shell like bash? I have some ideas how to implement it. I have written some code (jshell). jshell can be run as an applet and as a standalone application. It can run classes using main() (this method doesn't work in Netscape) and using the constructor without arguments (which doesn't always exist) My biggest achievment so far was running WidgetsDemo.class from jshell loaded as applet in Netscape.

Re: Kaffe and Status
I promise, after this summer is over, I put up a webpage with more info on KaffeOS. And yes, there's a shell. Probably not as complete as bash and more csh-like, but there is one. Of course, KaffeOS is not the only reason to include a Java compiler. Besides, jikes is a separate project, and that's good this way! Note that kaffe will use jikes if it finds it in its path, so there's nothing you have to do if you've installed jikes in /usr/local/bin or so. - Godmar Pavel Roskin wrote: Hello!

On http://www.kaffe.org/coreteam.html you will read: Godmar uses Kaffe for his academic research on KaffeOS then, follow this link http://www.cs.utah.edu/~gback/kaffeos.html from Godmar's homepage.

McNealy's minor minions have one to offer: If the judge were to rule against Sun, "that's not a disaster for us, for the following reason -- it is very difficult, close to if not, in fact, impossible, to build an implementation of the Java platform without at least looking at the documentation or its specifications," said Alan Baratz, president of software products and platforms at Sun. "Well, that's Sun intellectual property. And the judge has been very clear about that, that if Microsoft uses the specs or uses the documentation, it is not an independent work," Baratz continued. "Or if Microsoft purchases something from a third party that had used the documentation or the specs, it's not an independent work." From www.javaworld.com/jw-07-idgns-lawsuit.html.

Re: Still trying Kaffe/CYGWIN32--next problem: ;; unexpected
Archies suggestion led me to find one of the problems. It turned out that the CLASSPATH on the machine in question was set and had a ; at the end of it! Consequently when the BUILD_ENVIRONMENT was processed, CLASSPATH ended up having two ; (between the preset CLASSPATH and the additions from the Kaffe environment), and I believe that was the source of the problem (the eval line in the TestScript under the compile subroutine was probably generating the error). But, that let me to find another potential problem. If you don't have CLASSPATH set, the BUILD_ENVIRONMENT will still be wrong, since it will generate a path with a ; at the very beginning! This will also create a problem. Unfortunately, we still aren't to the end yet, since this was done on a machine that was using the daily snapshot from yesterday. Now Kaffe.jar and pizza.jar apparently have syntax errors in them when running make check (something about unexpected and ) unexpected respectivly). Maybe I should try to go back to 1.0 b4 and work around the errors that the snapshot fixed . . . .
