[Plplot-devel] plplot versus old JDK's

[Geoffrey F. <fu...@ga...>]

Turns out I have JDK 1.1.7 on my home machine (way old, RH60).  I have
been able to build plplot with java support, and run the demos.  I had
to make one tiddly change in sysloc.in to find the jni_md.h file,
which I will commit.  Beyond that, the only difficulty was that I had
to change from:
   java plplo/examples/x01
to
   java plplot.examples.x01

which I guessed my way into, based on the syntax of the Java language
package statement.  I dunno if this syntax (. versus /) is taken by
the newer JDK's.  Maybe we'll be lucky and this one way of doing
things will work with both old and new JDK's.  

Anyway, I see no problem with blackdown JDK 117.  

FYI.

The "." syntax works fine under jdk-1.2.2 so I think you have found a way to
refer to packages that works from JDK 1.1.7 onward.  Great!
