Ok so it's 3.0 that causes problems. <rant>Thanks to IBM for having Java platform-dependent afterall</rant> But more seriously, it would be nice if there could be a swing port of SWT. Talk about a nonsense: implementing a replacement for AWT ontop of AWT but hey, this could at least make things run (slowly but who cares when it comes to file tranfer GUI, and developers would still get the useful features of SWT) on all platforms. Anyway, I won't say more on the subject, part because I would get off-topic (not really a freebsd issue) and mostly because I don't know much about SWT... > I actually posted to this list a few weeks ago describing the steps i took to > get version 1.0.4.2 running... however my ISP's mail server was having a > reverse DNS issue at the time, and the list rejected the message.

I would try myself but as you said, version 3.0 will probably lower my chances of success. With all those platform related issues, maybe it's time for configure scripts in Java projects. I saw posts from people willing to port the latest Eclipse so maybe one day... I am stuck with mlnet (mldonkey) until then (which performs quite nice actually). Next step: build a port for azureus... ;) Regards, Herve
