[tcljava-dev] Why tclblend is not stubs-aware?

[Georgios P. <pet...@ya...>]

Hi all,

I am a user of tclblend, and I tried to compile the new tclblend 1.4.0
for windows with JDK 5.0 using msys.
What I noticed, is that tclblend does not use stubs, and thus is linked
directly to a specific version of the tcl dll.
Why is that? I have been using stubs-enabled versions of tclblend 1.3.x
for quite some time, without any problems.
Is there a specific reason that stubs are not used by tclblend? (I.e. a
known bug?)

I modified slightly the sources of tclblend 1.4.0 to use stubs, and
while I have not tested yet, doing
'package require java' under ActiveTcl 8.4.14 at least works and the
package seems to be loaded.
So, why not to enable stubs support in tclblend by default?
