Hi, Prologue: I'm very new to Java. After compiling and installing on FreeBSD 6.0 Classpath 0.93 (--with-jikes --disable-gtk-peer --disable-gconf-peer --disable-plugin --enable-local-sockets --enable-xmlj --prefix=/opt/java) and JamVM 1.4.4 (--prefix=/opt/java --with-classpath-install-dir=/opt/java --disable-zip) I did: # pwd /opt/java/share/classpath # unzip glibj.zip # unzip tools.zip # rm glibj.zip tools.zip And my HelloWorld test runs fine. But when I'm trying to execute any Classpath tool (for example, gjar) I'm getting: % jamvm gnu.classpath.tools.jar.Main java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError at gnu.classpath.tools.common.ClasspathToolParser.getVersionString(ClasspathToolParser.java:58) at gnu.classpath.tools.common.ClasspathToolParser.<init>(ClasspathToolParser.java:74) at gnu.classpath.tools.common.ClasspathToolParser.<init>(ClasspathToolParser.java:69) at gnu.classpath.tools.jar.Main$JarParser.<init>(Main.java:149) at gnu.classpath.tools.jar.Main.initializeParser(Main.java:175) at gnu.classpath.tools.jar.Main.run(Main.java:243) at gnu.classpath.tools.jar.Main.main(Main.java:257) Caused by: java.util.MissingResourceException: Failed to load bundle: gnu.classpath.tools.common.Messages at java.util.ResourceBundle.tryBundle(ResourceBundle.java:487) at java.util.ResourceBundle.tryBundle(ResourceBundle.java:550) at java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundle(ResourceBundle.java:400) at java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundle(ResourceBundle.java:231) at gnu.classpath.tools.common.Messages.<clinit>(Messages.java:49) at gnu.classpath.tools.common.ClasspathToolParser.getVersionString(ClasspathToolParser.java:58) ...6 more Caused by: java.io.IOException: Inappropriate ioctl for device at gnu.java.nio.VMChannel.available(Native Method) at gnu.java.nio.VMChannel.available(VMChannel.java:144) at gnu.java.nio.FileChannelImpl.available(FileChannelImpl.java:188) at java.io.FileInputStream.available(FileInputStream.java:179) at java.io.FilterInputStream.available(FilterInputStream.java:129) at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read(BufferedInputStream.java:276) at java.io.FilterInputStream.read(FilterInputStream.java:173) at java.io.InputStreamReader.read(InputStreamReader.java:459) at java.io.BufferedReader.fill(BufferedReader.java:373) at java.io.BufferedReader.readLine(BufferedReader.java:475) at java.util.Properties.load(Properties.java:201) at java.util.PropertyResourceBundle.<init>(PropertyResourceBundle.java:109) at java.util.ResourceBundle.tryBundle(ResourceBundle.java:483) ...11 more So, can we use Classpath Tools when JamVM was compiled with --disable-zip option?
