The current jacl 1.3.0 tar file includes a README that begins: ----- Before going any farther, it needs to be made clear that this release of Jacl is not considered stable enough to be used in production systems. ----- Any projections on when a release might occur that is considered stable enough to be used in production systems? -- Tcl - The glue of a new generation. <URL: http://wiki.tcl.tk/ > Larry W.

Well, after doing a configure, make, and make test (and seeing only 7 failures - not bad) I wanted to try out jacl 1.3.0 so I tried to run the jaclsh script. However, despite the fact that the make test works, the jaclsh script only generates the error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: tcl/lang/Shell Now, I have my CLASSPATH exported and pointing to the directory where the jacl.jar is located. Is there something else that needs to happen to get the script to work? -- Tcl - The glue of a new generation. <URL: http://wiki.tcl.tk/ > Larry W.

I would suggest that you unset whatever CLASSPATH you currently have set and try it again. I can't imagine why this would not work, it should. Are you running under Win32? Perhaps the problem is with ; vs : characters in the CLASSPATH. Just an FYI, a CLASSPATH should include the full path name of a .jar file, not just the dir where a .jar file lives. cheers Mo |

It will be considered "ready for production use" when people try it in production systems and it works without problems. It is a chicken and the egg problem. If you ask me, the 1.3.0 release is in a much better state than the 1.2.6, but there is a bunch of new code so it needs to be tested in real systems. Mo |
