pjava.exe version "3.1"

PersonalJava 3.1 introduces JDK1.2 security APIs into the JDK 1.1.8 base API
set.  Swing 1.1.1 happens to test for the existence of 1.2 security APIs in
order to determine what JVM version it is running under.  This test succeeds
and Swing believes it is running in a 1.2 JVM, but it is not - pJava 3.1 is
1.1.8 based with only 1.2 security APIs added.

The test is in javax.swing.SwingUtilities.  It tests for
Class.getProtectionDomain which is a 1.2 API.  However this API was also
introduced into pJava 3.1.

    static {
        try {
            // Test if method introduced in 1.2 is available.
            Method m = Class.class.getMethod("getProtectionDomain", null);
            is1dot2 = (m != null);
        } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
            is1dot2 = false;
        }

        // Warn if running wrong version of this class for this JDK.





          if (is1dot2) {
              System.err.println("warning: running 1.1 version of
SwingUtilities");
          }

    }


Running a simple Swing application under pJava 3.1 results in this exception:

webbug aw

I fixed the problem by changing SwingUtilites to test for Class.getPackage
which is 1.2 specific and has not been introduced to pJava:

            Method m = Class.class.getMethod("getPackage", null);

We are no longer providing unbundled releases of swing for 1.1.x releases of
the JDK.

It really works !!
Just for the beginners :
1) Extract the src.zip (from the swing-1.1.1fcs 
distribution)
2) in javax/swing you'll find the SwingUtilities.java file
3) Open it your favorite editor
4) Comment line 677 Method m = Class.class.getMethod
("getProtectionDomain", null);
5) Insert the line Method m = Class.class.getMethod
("getPackage", null); just after the old one.
6) Save and compile.
7) Copy the Swingall.jar archive in the root of the 
exstracter src.zip (ie the same level of the javax and com 
dirs).
8) Jarize it (jar uvf swingall.jar 
javax\swing\SwingUtilities.class)

Have fun with Swing

Actually, you are -

It would be so easy to fix this bug and post the new 
swingall.jar, please, please do so!

Yes, I agree with Alexander - please make this simple change
and distribute.

Thanks Erik - the work around works great. It's cool to run
Swing apps on the iPAQ!
