Well, my experience is a bit odd: first of all, I see many differences
if I work in my main sid or in a little chroot, sid too (they both
up-to-date).
Needless to say, all works fine when using VM from Sun, either version
5 or 6. (looking forward to having Java 7 free...)
With jamvm (command: JAVACMD=jamvm josm):
- Inside the chroot things are going quite well, but:
* File type selection combo in Open file dialog is broken, and
doesn't influence the file view above. Anyway, I could open a .gpx
file, but when I tried with a .gpx.gz at first it just started to
eat all the CPU time it could, and after a few minutes it started
allocating memory on memory, and I had to kill it.
* Uploding changes result in a "Error while parsing: An error
occurred: Already connected java.net.ProtocolException" error
dialog.
* Downloading works.
- In my main system things are much simpler: the main window gets
opened, but it is empty. After a few seconds jamvm happily crashes.
With gij-4.3 (command: JAVACMD=gij-4.3 josm):
- Inside the chroot the window gets opened, but it's empty. strace
shows that is waiting in a futex() call.
- Outside the chroot it happens just the same thing.
With gij-4.1 (command: JAVACMD=gij-4.1 josm):
- Inside the chroot things are similar to jamvm, but:
* Open file dialog is even more broken: I can't select the file I
want, because clicking on a file causes another file to be
selected and, thus, opened. Anyway, I'm able to open .gpx.gz
files.
* Downloading sometimes it ends up in unresponsive program,
sometimes ends up in an error dialog, sometimes works.
* Uploading fails as in jamvm.
- Outside the chroot josm crashes as with gij-4.3.
Quite strange, isn't it? I think that, right now, josm isn't in shape
to be released in main, and should move to contrib depending on Sun's
JRE.
Cheers, Giovanni.
