[tcljava-user] JAVA_LOCK problem in TclBlend 1.2.6

[Udi M. <ud...@mi...>]

Hello,

I'm trying to invoke a TCL command from a Java class in a JVM loaded as a
java package to the TCL shell.
If the java command is called from another TCL command invoked from the
shell, the command is called properly.

When trying to invoke the command from a Java GUI (button) the process gets
stuck. After some investigation, it looks like the JAVA_LOCK() macro in the
javaInterp.c (in the Java_tcl_lang_Interp_eval procedure) does not return.

When trying to remove the JAVA_LOCK() command (and the matching
JAVA_UNLOCK()), the command is processed but the behaviour is not smooth
(probably due to the lock which was removed).

Looks like another thread is locking the NativeLock but I have no idea which
one.

Any Ideas ?
