[Jython-dev] Jython on OSX issue

[<bri...@ma...>]

Dear developers,

I have checked the user forums and FAQs but, perhaps due to my own 
incompetence, I have not found an explanation to overcome a serious 
problem I have encountered using Jython 2.2 on Mac OSX 10.1.1.

Each time I launch Jython, Jython reads in the jars in the classpath and 
tries, unsuccessfully, to cache them (somewhere I do not know). Because 
of this failure, each time I launch Jython it tries again in vain to 
cache the jars polluting standard out with its failures and corrupting 
the return values to Applescript when I launch Jython using a Shell OSAX 
( DLL that allows Applescirpt to execute Unix shell commands and read 
their returns). I find this very frustrating since I use Jython to give 
Applescript a GUI interface that is both easy to use and quasi-standard 
in that it is Java Swing.

I have provided the output below to aid you if it helps. I would 
appreciate any advice you could give to tell me where the jars are 
cached since I believe it is a permissions problem that prevents them 
from being effectively cached.  Or perhaps you have another idea?

Regards,
Daniel Lord
