Hi Omair,

The fix looks good to me. I think Kumar needs to take a look at it, too, before the fix can be pushed to a repo.

Thanks for finding and fixing this issue.

-- best regards, Anthony

Hi Kumar,

On 07/23/2012 11:19 AM, Kumar Srinivasan wrote: My suggestion is to see if System.loadLibrary can be used, this will bode well for the modularization effort. I discussed this with the folks at awt-dev and they would prefer to avoid loading as much as possible. They are strongly against always preloading libjawt.so. For my 2c, I'm against it too. It doesn't seem the right fix. I can see your point, but both the solutions feel wrong to me. I can't make up my mind which is the less bad. I don't see an attachment :-( I guess the mailing list software stripped it out. I did attach it. Shouldn't it be a webrev anyway? Old habits :) Webrev is at: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~omajid/webrevs/jawt-link-regression/00/ I have also put up a test case at: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~omajid/jawt-test.tar.gz The test case is the exact same as that on http://download.java.net/jdk8/docs/technotes/guides/awt/AWTNativeInterface.html, except it automates the building and running. You will have to edit the makefile to set the value of JDKHOME. It should point to a j2sdk-image directory. Then do: $ make $ make run Without the fix it should print an UnsatisfiedLinkError. With the fix, it should show a window. I built jdk8/build successfully just last week. What issues are you seeing? Errors building hotspot, I seem to recall. But I cant reproduce it anymore after pulling today. I can now confirm that the fix works for me with jdk8 too. Thanks, Omair
