X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.75 [en] (X11; U; FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE i386) X-Accept-Language: en-US, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-java@freebsd.org Subject: Forte Community Edition v1.0 update 2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-java@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org If you install Sun's JDK1.3 for Linux, you can run the most recent release for Sun's Forte Community Edition and develop for Java within a reasonably nice GUI. Here's how... Edit the file $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/font.properties to comment out references to fonts containing the strings "symbol" and "adobe-fontspecific" by adding a "#" at the beginning of the line. Don't forget the lines containing "CharToByteSymbol" too. If you have installed the OpenJIT just-in-time-compiler, you will need to disable it temporarily, as it causes problems for the installer. Typing "unset JAVA_COMPILER" should suffice. Once the package is installed, it runs normally with the jit enabled. Go to Sun's www.javasoft.com web site and find Forte Community Edition. Download the Solaris package. It is a little over 12 megs. Install it by typing "sh forte_ce_1_0_2.sh" and follow the directions from there. -- ________________________________________________________________________ Technology is dominated by those who manage what they do not understand. http://www.netcom.com/~scrantr/index.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
