Has anyone successfully built/used CamlJava [1] with recent OCaml and the open sourced Sun's JVM (OpenJDK)? I've tried for a while, but I'm stuck at the basics, i.e. making the example shipped with CamlJava work.
First of all there is some needed gymnastic to build: apparently there is no longer _a_ legacy libjvm.so, but several one depending on which JRE you choose (at least: "Cacao" and "headless"). Of course they're in different dirs and I'm not sure about which is the right way (or even criteria) to choose one. After having passed through that (with a dirty symlink to one of the two libjvm.so), the shipped example fails with an exception while initializing the JVM: LOG: [0x00002b9a57f73c80] exception thrown while VM is initializing: LOG: [0x00002b9a57f73c80] NULL: java.lang.Object LOG: [0x00002b9a57f73c80] Aborting... (this is with Cacao, with headless an exception its OCaml, but apparently it is devoid of any inspectable content.) Has any one here a success story to share? Is there a planned future release of CamlJava? Many thanks in advance, Cheers.
