Don't know about the underlying issues, but at least on a local machine
that happens to have 6.0 plus PowerPatch 2 (only FOS and IMAGE/SQL, no
other subsystems installed) the Java 1.1.7 stuff seems to be working. At
least the Apache JServ engine seems to respond to a few examples, one of
them including JDBC access to MUSICDBE.

So NS/3000 is probably not a MUST HAVE in all cases.

So there might still be hope. Don't know why, but it seems to work for me.


>Anybody out there using JBuilder? Might be fun to share....

No, I am using www.netbeans.com because it is free of charge. I do
not know (haven't checked lately) if the same might apply to JBuilder.
Many times, I still use Programmer's File Editor and SAMBA to write
Java programs or servlets or applets. This keeps me focused on the Java
instead of detracting my attention to the IDE. However, I do use the
NetBeans IDE when it comes to creating AWT or Swing GUI interfaces.


Back to Richard's original question...

Does LISTFILE /usr/local/java/latest/lib/classes.zip ,4 show the
file being present and accessible to the user you are logged on as?
I sometimes have seen file permission issues cause Java problems.

Another thing that looks strange to me is the HPPATH that you are
using. On my machine here, I have neither a CLASSPATH set nor (and
especially that) HPPATH with a Java related entry. My system has a
JAVA.PUB.SYS and JAVAC.PUB.SYS command file that takes care of
launching the JAVA VM.

I seem to recall that the command file runs a different program or
runs it with different parms than the /usr/local/java/latest/bin
PATH does, when using Java from inside the Posix Shell. Just a guess.
