[Sablevm-developer] problem running gjdoc (javadoc replacement) w/ SableVM

[Grzegorz P. <gr...@se...>]

Hi!

Having properly installed sablevm (HelloWorld works) I tried to
run gjdoc [1] and got this:

greg@greg:~/deb-pkgs/gjdoc/markhoward$ (cd /tmp/gjdoc;
gjdoc -doclet gnu.classpath.tools.doclets.xmldoclet.Driver -sourcepath
/tmp/gjdoc/ $*)
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: [Ljava/lang/String;
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.createArray(ClassLoader.java:417)
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.createArray(ClassLoader.java:340)
	at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:309)
	at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:268)
	at gnu.classpath.tools.gjdoc.Main.class$(Main.java)
	at gnu.classpath.tools.gjdoc.Main.startDoclet(Main.java:298)
	at gnu.classpath.tools.gjdoc.Main.start(Main.java:780)
	at gnu.classpath.tools.gjdoc.Main.main(Main.java:678)
	at java.lang.VirtualMachine.invokeMain(VirtualMachine.java)
	at java.lang.VirtualMachine.main(VirtualMachine.java:88)

gjdoc is this:
exec java --classpath /usr/share/java/libgcj.jar -jar
/usr/share/java/gjdoc.jar "$@"

gjdoc debian packages can be (temporarily) found at
http://tildemh.com/tmp/gjdoc/

Mark Howard has done some work on this topic and reported that
he was able to run it with gcj *only* (compiled to native code).

[if you fetch the all_deb from there change gij in /usr/bin/gjdoc
to java and setup your alternatives properly to use sablevm as java)

or - the call to sablevm looked like this:
/usr/bin/sablevm -Y
--classpath=/usr/share/java/gjdoc.jar:/usr/share/java/libgcj.jar
gnu.classpath.tools.gjdoc.Main -doclet
gnu.classpath.tools.doclets.xmldoclet.Driver -sourcepath /tmp/gjdoc/

I may be wrong - but it seems that there's something wrong w/
createArray? So it is rather gnu classpath related problem not
SableVM?

Cheers
