However, keep in mind that ant is a build (make) tool for Java

your Java applications anymore.

Given that I do not feel I can afford to have Java on the system, this
is a sacrifice I feel is necessary. In the process of updating ports,
apache-ant has already been reinstalled. I had installed kaffe when I
removed jdk*; but apache-ant now seems to depend on diablo-jdk.
My guess is that when updating ports some Java application is also
being installed which requires build from source and as a result
installs ant. It'd be good to check the installed applications for a
Java one.

So here's a question. I see that OpenOffice and Firefox are both using
Java (ouch, this hurts).

I also see now that java_vm is not exiting even after the applet should
have finished running (this with the Blackboard applet that I have specifically
identified as problematic).

Can these ports use kaffe instead? Or is there a way to force java_vm to
exit without my having to babysit it? Killing java_vm takes down Firefox
as well.

Obvious.

At least I do not yet see java_vm (which seems to have been the
culprit in cases where I was able to get back into the system) yet
reappearing.

When I encountered difficulty this morning, I had left both firefox
and an ports upgrade running. In the past, I had associated the
problem with a java script from Blackboard at the university where I
attend and teach, but in the situation this morning, I had not
invoked that script.

So I'm guessing that java_vm had been invoked by apache-ant which
previously depended on jdk* rather than diablo-jdk*.
And, is there a way to tell which other ports rely on java?

I am wondering if I have any reason to believe that diablo-jdk is
sufficiently different from jdk to avoid the problem.
I see now that it is not.

No clue here. But I guess it's not about java_vm that your system goes
blank since I'm working/developing with both diablo-jdk-1.5.0_06 and
jdk-1.6.0_01 on an average machine running 6.2-p7.

I upgraded to RELENG_7 hoping to make a USB problem go away (symptoms
changed, but problems remain). I did not experience the problem prior to
this upgrade.
I'm not sure but I paste my javavm_wrapper configuration. It might be
useful:
# JDK 1.6
#JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.6.0
#JAVA_OS=native
#JAVA_VENDOR=freebsd
#JAVA_VERSION=1.6
#JAVAVM_OPTS=-XX:+UseThreadPriorities

# JDK 1.5
JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/dialblo-jdk1.5.0
JAVA_OS=native
JAVA_VENDOR=freebsd
JAVA_VERSION=1.5
JAVAVM_OPTS=-XX:+UseThreadPriorities


I have now deinstalled diablo-jdk and:

earth# JAVAVM_DRYRUN="YES" java JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/kaffe
JAVAVM_CONF=/usr/local/etc/javavms
JAVAVM_OPTS_CONF=/usr/local/etc/javavm_opts.conf
JAVAVM_PROG=/usr/local/kaffe/bin/java
JAVAVM_OPTS=
JAVAVM_COMMAND=/usr/local/kaffe/bin/java
earth#

At the moment, I don't have a way to invoke the evil applet. What I don't see
is where this configuration is; what you have above doesn't look at all like
the /usr/local/etc/javavm_opts.conf on my system. Is this because you stripped
the comments?

Thanks!


kaffe won't be available for 7.x until it's officially released and someone makes the binary.
