Description mgarrison 2003-03-04 16:12:29 UTC 
We're seeing some problems in NetBeans 3.5 on OpenVMS.  
They seem to be mostly related to bugs in the launcher at 
this point.

The first problem has to do with escaping EFS characters 
in filenames.  On OpenVMS, EFS chars are escaped by 
preceding with a ^ when using DCL, but in the actual 
filesystem, the filenmes don't contain the escape 
characters.  The launcher must remove these ^ chars before 
building the classpath.

The second problem has to do with using the FastVM on 
OpenVMS...the FastVM aborts during the load of NetBeans.

NetBeans gets further along when using the Classic VM...

Thridly, the updater jar file must be explicitely added to 
the classpath when the updater needs to be run.  At this 
time, module updates cannot be loaded.

I'll be making some bug fixes over the next few days to 
try and correct these problems.

Meg, what the status of this bug?  We are approaching high resistance
mode.
Comment 2 _ ttran 2003-03-11 17:22:07 UTC 
this bug applies to OpenVMS only. This bug does not apply to Sun S1S
products => added S1S5_WAV keyword
Comment 3 _ ttran 2003-03-11 18:09:56 UTC 
NOS1S5 == not a bug in Sun's S1S
Comment 4 mgarrison 2003-03-12 13:06:11 UTC 
I've made changes and we've been testing them.  I should 
commit the changes today.
