[Sequoiadb-discuss] Sequoia, Java Preferences, and Linux

[Adam D. <ada...@gm...>]

I am testing Sequoia 4 in Ubuntu 8.10 with Java 1.6.0_10. When
flushing preferences inside a process that starts Sequoia, the
preferences aren't saved and I get

Exception in thread "Timer-0" java.lang.AbstractMethodError:

If I add this jvm option, preferences work again.

-Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl

But, then Sequoia can't start.
