[Jython-users] Jython on Solaris 2.8

[James S. <js...@ab...>]

dealing with Jython on a Solaris 2.8 system, jython 2.1 installed
well in /usr/local - working with one of the simple button examples

># simple_button.py
>
>from pawt import swing
>import java
>
>def exit(e): java.lang.System.exit(0)
>
>frame = swing.JFrame('Swing Example', visible=1)
>button = swing.JButton('Close Me!', actionPerformed=exit)
>frame.contentPane.add(button)
>frame.pack()

jython simple_button.py works fine

jythonc simple_button.py produces all the correct files in jpyworks - but
java simple_button fails with

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.python.core.PyJavaClass.lookup(PyJavaClass.java:43)
        at org.python.core.PyObject.<init>(PyObject.java:46)

        at org.python.core.Py.runMain(Py.java:817)
        at simple_button.main(simple_button.java:77)

this is 

java version "1.2.2"
Solaris VM (build Solaris_JDK_1.2.2_06, native threads, sunwjit)

all suggestions welcome
