Very nice! Just tried it out on the Wonka Visual Test Engine (see
http://sources.redhat.com/mauve/ CVS or an older tar ball at
http://www.klomp.org/mark/open-wonka-visualtest.tar.gz). I needed one
small patch for Classpath CVS (see the commit-classpath mailing list)
that might also be needed for 0.07 (I didn't check). Without that patch
you will get the following error when starting up a program that uses
AWT: jamvm: relocation error:
/usr/local/classpath/lib/classpath//libgtkpeer.so: undefined symbol:
g_thread_init

It works nicely. Even the Japanese Business card example looks good (to
the untrained eye that doesn't actually know how a Japanese business
card is supposed to look that is). All in all I am impressed with both
JamVM and the progress that the gtk-peers have made recently!

Cheers,

Mark
