[Jamvm-general] JSR 308: symbol JVM_GetClassTypeAnnotations not defined for JamVM + OpenJDK 8

[Xerxes R. <xe...@za...>]

Hi Robert

First big thank you! I have been browsing through the list of changes to get
JSR 292 working;
http://git.berlios.de/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/jamvm/log/
well done!

Today i have tested to use the new JSR 292 fixed JamVM in combination with
the latest IcedTea 8 build-system and OpenJDK 8 b80. Using this initial
icedtea 8 patch:  http://old.nabble.com/file/p35228844/icedtea8-jamvm.patch
icedtea8-jamvm.patch  ...
I was about to celebrate and pop up the champagne or at least drink a large
cup of ice tea after a successful build of OpenJDK 8 using JamVM + JSR 292
celebrate... but instead I discovered this:

./java -verbose:jni -version
[Failed to open library
/home/xranby/icedtea-8-b80/openjdk.build/images/j2sdk-image/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so:
/home/xranby/icedtea-8-b80/openjdk.build/images/j2sdk-image/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so:

file libjvm.so with link time reference]
Error initialising natives: couldn't open libjava.so: use -verbose:jni for
more information
Error initialising VM (initialiseNatives)
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Apparently: OpenJDK 8 have quite recently merged in the new JSR 308 and this
require some new functionality inside the libjvm.so
