Dear all,
well, it took a long time for me to answer to Bernhards email.
I did not want to reply with a kind of 'yes we will get yacy running
with a free java sometime', but with a clear statement that some
problems with free java are sorted out.
Bernhard, your comments on the programming style are all valid, but
we would need to go very deep into detail to argue about why I did it
this why or not. Lets concentrate on the main subject which is: can
YaCy be used with a free java?
Yes! We have a good documentation about that:
http://www.yacy-websuche.de/wiki/index.php/De:GNUInstall
(sorry, only in german)
-> YaCy can now be compiled with gcj and runs with gij
Greetings,
Michael

Hi,
I gave http://www.yacy.net/yacy (Peer-to-Peer search engine)
and jamvm + classpath (Free Software java stack)
a spin together.
The good news: I got it to start and at least display one search
result
from other peers.
It looks like I have identified three potential problems,
but I cannot say for sure where the defects are:
-> Memory handling does not seem to work similiar, potentially
jamvm or classpath not restricting memory usage like they should.
-> Provoking an out-of-memory situation to test for available memory
seems to be a yacy bug to me, triggered by a workaround for
a Sun jre bug.
-> Multiple handlers in the log configuration
I hope the report, as sparse as it is, is useful.
Please copy me on relevant replies as I am not subscribed to the lists
and please note that I do not know when I can followup up on requests,
as I usually focus on other things.
Regards,
Bernhard
