Unable to start process using Runtime - Solved

[Michael Franz]

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.

Applying the patch allows OpenJDK to spawn processes on OS X.  Hopefully it
will work for all of the BSDs.

Michael
