[tcljava-dev] What is the status of the latest cvs head Tclblend and the latest jdk?

[Larry W. V. <lv...@ca...>]

I read on http://tcljava.sourceforge.net/docs/website/faq.html
the comment that JDK 1.3 seems to have some bugs that effect Tcl Blend
and that additional work may be needed.

However, the FAQ doesn't list a date, so I don't know whether that is
current information or not.

Is this still the case?  I've got some developers using JDK 1.4 (1.4.1_03
I believe) and they would really like to use Tcl Blend.

However, they are primarily Java developers, with little C knowledge and
are looking for a toolg to use rather than something they will have
to work on to get working.

So, is this something that would be doable?

It says that some problems with JDK 1.4 exist, and it is current. The
problems are not in Tcl Blend, it has something to do with strange
goings on inside the JDK. I would suggest that you compare the
regression test results using a 1.3 JDK and a 1.4 JDK and see if
you run into any problems on your system.
