 |Does anybody have the javac port running with Netscape 3.0 release running
 |properly?
 |
 |I can't seem to get it to work. I have tried every invocation of classpath
 |possible, listing both the path to the java_30, and the path to
 |classes.zip with and without the names of the files in several orders. In
 |all cases, the result is the same:
 |
 |Can't initialize threads: cannot find class java/lang/Thread
 |
 |Anybody have any clues?

     No clue here -- I get the same result.  I have Netscape 3.0b2 working
fine with JDK 1.0.2 though (compiles Java fine, 1.0.2 no less, even though
its expired :-), so you might try that.  3.0b3-3.0b4 just memory fault, and
3.0b5a and 3.0 (both FreeBSD and Linux ELF emulated) give me the
java/lang/Thread error you mentioned.

     Incidentally, the Solaris 1.0.2 JDK with the FreeBSD 1.0 JDK binaries
laid on top works for me as well.

     In case it helps, here's my javac ala Netscape setup:

----------------------------- javac-netscape ----------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

export CLASSPATH=/usr/local/share/java/classes.zip
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/share/java

exec /opt/bin/netscape.30b2 -java sun.tools.javac.Main $*
