Unable to start process using Runtime - Solved

Hi, I have been trying to using OpenJDK BSD to run Eclipse and Netbeans. I have been successful in both, but it was not very useful as I there was no way to actually run my code from within the IDEs. There is an issue with OpenJDK for BSD being unable to start a process. After many compiles and narrowing the problem down to the closeDescriptors I was able to find this posting that explains why it doesn't work and some history to it. Most importantly, it also has the fix. http://www.mavetju.org/mail/view_message.php?list=freebsd-java&id=2564148 Applying the patch allows OpenJDK to spawn processes on OS X. Hopefully it will work for all of the BSDs. Michael
