Re: Re: gnome and the accessbridge

[Bernard Hugueney <bernard hugueney lip6 fr>]

A propos java-access-bridge.

Is there any reason not to provide a tarball ? (Dependancies on fast 
moving libraries?)
Compiling gnome stuff can be a burden :-(
I've been using jhbuild, but it needed som tweakings :

In .jhbuildrc, I just put "modules=['java-access-bridge']", but then 
it was not recognized as a known module :-(
so I had to put

  <cvsmodule id="java-access-bridge" >
    <dependencies>
      <dep package="gnome-common" />
    </dependencies>
  </cvsmodule>

in /jhbuild/modulesets/gnome24.modules
(for a "moduleset = 'gnome24'" in .jhbuildrc )
things went then fine (beware, autoconf 2.5xx needed).

For the "accessibility.properties" file, INSTALL tells that it will be 
written in  $JAVA_HOME/jre. However, this directory did not contain 
any .properties file. I put the file in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib.
Was it a mistake ?

Anyway, the result seems to be the same as in "[g-a-devel]Java Bridge 
Broken?" 
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-accessibility-devel/2003-June/msg00020.html
Even if I have the most recent (2.3.4) libbonobo.

When doing  java -jar 
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2/demo/jfc/Java2D/Java2Demo.jar
I get:
"

Any help most welcome!
