User Report: Swarm Java

[Miles Parker]

Just a report that everything is looking good! I had no problem setting things 
up to work with Visual Cafe, so you can add that to your list of environments 
supported. So far I can't get it to work with the IBM JDK, got 

E:\Swarm-2.0.1\jheatbugs-2.0.1>D:\Java\JDKIBM\bin\java -classpath .;D:\Java\JDKI
BM\lib\classes.zip;E:\Swarm-2.0.1\share\swarm\swarm.jar;D:\VisualCafe\Java\lib\c
ollections.zip StartHeatbugs
/src/Swarm/swarm/src/defobj/directory.m:547 get_type_field_for_class

Wonder if this is similar to the Visual Age problem? Let me know if I can help 
you figure this out, as it stands I'll just use VC.

Suggest documentation fix,  in 
http://www.santafe.edu/projects/swarm/release-apps.html#javaapps, replace 
"swarmjdk.jar" with "Swarm-2.0.1/share/swarm/swarm.jar" I had a little trouble 
finding this file.

also, for some of those people (like me) using JDKs 1.1.x you will have to get 
a copy of the pre-Java 1.2 collections classes (as a zip, I'd be happy to send 
it to you) and replace the following line in Heatbugs:

import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;

with

import com.sun.java.util.collections.List;
import com.sun.java.util.collections.ArrayList;

[The classes were not a part of the standard distribution and so are in 
different packages and must be added separetly.]
