[<sp...@is...>]

Hi Robert! Thank you for having some interest in this annoying problem -=20=

I'm really happy to get support :)

This works, but the problem is the same: Jython is unable to access=20
net.sourceforge.spedit.app.Application.

No, the error is still this "AttributeError", and there is no other=20
valuable information displayed. Actually I have tried with a Linux JDK=20=

and the error does not occur, I have also tried with Jython2.0 insted of=20=

the current 2.1a3, both had the same behaviour. So basically the error=20=

is due to a different behaviour in MacOS X JDK.

If I want to submit a bug report to Apple, I have to understand what the=20=

actual problem is. Obviously Jython is able to locate the package and=20
introspect it, proof is the result of the=20
dir("net.sourceforge.spedit.app") that returns the actual content of the=20=

package. The problem is that Jython is not able to access the content of=20=

this package when using the "." (and also every package that I have=20
defined outside of the jre/lib/ext equivalent on OS X). I suspect a=20
difference in the introspection mechanisms between the Jython attribute=20=

access and the dir() function. The problem is that to understand why=20
Jython is unable to access the Application class I need to know how=20
Jython works at its core...maybe some experts could help?

Cheers,
