Subject: Q: trouble with linux-jdk1.2pre-v2 on 3.3-R reading System.in ...
Sender: owner-freebsd-java@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org

After seeing comments suggesting the usability of the blackdown.org
jdk1.2pre-v2 port on FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE systems,
we pulled it down & gave it a try.

The AWT & Swing demos seem to run quite well
(except for the font complaints).


We're finding, however, that the readLine() method of BufferedReader
doesn't fetch anything from stdin (i.e., the keyboard) and "hangs",
while the native FreeBSD JDK1.1.8 port works as advertised:

	BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader(
                new InputStreamReader(System.in));
	String inbuf;
	...
	while ((inbuf = stdin.readLine()) != null) {
		System.out.println(inbuf);
	}

Can anyone comment on this behavior ?
