Problems in Sun SDK 1.2.2 and Open Linux...

I've been forced from my previous OS to Caldera Open Linux 2.3 and I'm running
into some teething difficulties... :')

I am working with the new JDK from Sun for Linux, SDK 1.2.2. After exporting
the necessary paths and atempting to compile a few old netrexx scripts, I have
run into this...

First, the 1.151 NetRexx compiler will not execute from the jar file. I had to
unzip it before it would be recognized. YES, I do have
/usr/netrexx/lib/NetRexxC.zip in the PATH... Second, using -verbose5 at the
command line it shows the translator works 100%, but the call to the java
compiler fails. The error's read:

NetRexx portable processor, version 1.151 [3 Sep 1999]
Copyright (c) IBM Corporation, 1999. All rights reserved.
Translating 'ReadFile.nrx' [Pass 0]
Loading class 'java.lang.Object'...

Loaded public final class 'java.lang.String' (Visible: 60 methods, one
property)

--- snip of non-error compiler report ---

Compiling: '-nowarn -classpath
.:/usr/jdk1.2.2/jre/lib/rt.jar:/usr/jdk1.2.2/lib/tools.jar
/usr/netrexx/ReadFile.java'
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sun/tools/javac/Main

at COM.ibm.netrexx.process.NetRexxC.main2(NetRexxC.nrx:165)
at COM.ibm.netrexx.process.NetRexxC.main(NetRexxC.nrx:54)

At this point, I can run "javac ReadFile.java" and it compiles and runs just
fine. Shouldn't the path to the netrexx.zip file be in the classpath of the call
to the java compiler?

Any tips would be appreciated. :')

Java 1.2 needs the .jar file for the javac compiler to be in the classpath, as
it is no longer part of the Java 'core'; see the NetRexx 'installation
documentation' for details.

In the readme/doco somewhere it says that if you're running 1.2 or higher, you need to put tools.jar in your classpath as well....

If you mean tools.jar, it's in the path. Still no joy. You can see the path in
the netrexxc.log below:

I've tried all manner of "fixes". I even resorted to unzip all the .JAR files
and set the various PATH's accordingly... I get the same exact results each
time.... I can't be this dense! :')

Ok... I got it fixed and it's not what I expected...

By including "-classpath /usr/jdk1.2.2/lib.tools.jar" on the command line, it
works. Setting this in either the PATH or CLASSPATH environment variables does
not...

So far, things are back to normal.

Hi,

I have been using the other alternative for linux. There is also a port from
blackdown.org. These guys have been working on 1.2.2 and other java stuff from
Sun for years. Sun and Imprise 'reused' much of their work to get a Sun
1.2.2 out... Not sure which one is better but know that the blackdown.org's
1.2.2rc3 passes all my njPipe tests. If Sun's gives problems try blackdown's.
Note IBM's 1.1.8 does not pass these tests.

Sun has been doing some very stupid stuff with Java lately. This is bad since
java in linux is not very popular. Would have been very nice if Sun had credited
blackdown.org for all their work (including getting 1.2.x on platforms Sun does
not want to support). If Sun acted like many of the linux vendors out there they
would be paying blackdown.org to work on java.

Happy New Year

Ed,

the lack of credit was a temporary idiocy that Sun soon corrected. There online articles all got updated identifying Blackdown as the source of the port (from 1.2.1), don't know if there was an update of doco though...
