[ jEdit-devel ] Issue running jEdit on Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Using OpenJDK7 bsd-port compiled against platform)

[Justin W. <jus...@gm...>]

Hi,

I love jEdit and use it all the time on my standard Linux desktop
however I've recently purchased a PowerMac G4 and have managed to
compile OpenJDK7 against the platform. Great... now I can upgrade to
the latest version of jEdit!! I downloaded the source and compiled
against my platform but due to complications I have to explicitly set
Djava.awt.false=false as an option when running jEdit.

Everything loads correctly and I can browse through the menu items,
install plugins etc however the one thing which doesn't work is
keyboard input into buffers. When I try to type into a buffer no text
appears and instead the output is directed to the console.

Could somebody please help me understand what is happening and perhaps
suggest any way of avoiding this issue (I understand that it is an
issue with OpenJDK)? I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty in the code
if it comes to that but I'd appreciate a starting point!

If you need more information please get in touch.

Kind Regards,

JLove
