Any word on JDK-1.2.2?

[Paul Johnson]

Since I kept getting the thread-related seg fault when trying to compile
the newer than 2.0.1 swarms against the Blackdown.org version of the
JDK, I was excited to learn today they released a new version called
JDK1.2.2 and its README says they fixed a lot of thread stuff.

When I tried to compile swarm -1999-11-25 against that JDK, I got this
error:

I cut out the -Werror in the gcc command and made the compile complete.
It looks like ALL Java classes did compile successfully, no more JDK
related seg faults here.  I do see that the javac in the JDK is slower
than jikes, for sure, but at least it did work.  Perhaps the lack of
thread-related seg faults is coincidental, I guess I should try JDK1.2
with swarm -1999-11-25.
 
Anyway, why the warning, how to get rid of it?
