Kitchen-sink language problems on mac

[Jonathan Gibbons]

Christian,

I'm sorry to hear of your problems with jtreg.  Which version are you  
using?
The latest version on the OpenJDK website is 3.2.2_02 (forget the  
build numbers
in this case, they're irrelevant.

If you can send us the details of how you invoke jtreg (either Ant or  
command line)
and any error messages, I'll see if I can identify what is going  
wrong for you.
I presume this is still on a Mac, that you're having problems? Do you  
see the same
problems on any other system, such as Linux, Solaris, or Windows?

On a related note, if anyone else is reading, we mortals can now edit  
pages
on the OpenJDK website again (well, actually, only Sun mortals at  
this point.)
So we'll be looking to generally update the info on the OpenJDK pages  
in the
next few days.
