I did a rebuild of jdk 1.2.2 with patchset 7, and ran into a problem with
the swingset demo and notepad demo. (under the jfc directory) Applets 
worked fine.  When I start the swingset demo or the notepad demo, an empty
grey box come up on the screen, regardless of the bit depth. (I tried 8, 
16 and 24 bits) I did a build with the following environment...

export HAVE_DPS=no
export ALT_BOOTDIR=/usr/local/linux-jdk1.2.2
export ALT_MOTIF_DIR=/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif1.2
export ALT_ODBCDIR=/usr/local/
export OPENWINHOME=/usr/X11R6

Note, I did a make install of the odbcUNIX drivers, which install into
/usr/local by default. I did install gps but since I'm running fbsd 4.0,
I set the HAVE_DPS to no, as the instructions recommended. I installed
LessTif, and used Motif1.2 lib version... should I have used the Motif 2.0
version?

Also, my hardware configuration is distributed... my server doesn't have
a graphics console, and runs FBSD 4.0-Release. I log into the server 
remotely, and start an xterm from my xserver. Then, I try to run the demos.
The applets worked, but the swingset didn't. My xserver is a linux box.

I'm actually more interested in using jdk1.2.2 port without GUI...
using it with Tomcat3.1 for servlets. I'll be doing some testing with
servlets/jsp compilation and JDBC calls and see how well it works in this
threaded environment.  

Finally, I want to say good job folks! Porting Java is not easy. 


Virtually,
