Re: java/java access bridge issues with fc3

[Bill Haneman <Bill Haneman Sun COM>]

Dave:

I am glad that you got the java freeze/version issue sorted.  However, 
"make install" of java-access-bridge isn't sufficient.  There are 
additional, manual instructions in file "INSTALL" which is included in 
the java-access-bridge sources.   (You can stop reading at the point 
where the INSTALL file says 'Further, generic, installation instructions 
follow:')

I quote from the 'INSTALL' doc (picking up where you probably left off):

"(5) before running a Java program with the Java Access Bridge, you
will need to make sure that your GNOME 2 installation enables
CORBA traffic over IP from the ORBit2 ORB.  Do this by including
the following line in a file, ".orbitrc" in your home directory:

ORBIIOPIPv4=1

You also need to modify your Java runtime environment to include
gnome-java-bridge.jar in $JRE_HOME/lib/ext  and accessibility.properties
in $JRE_HOME/lib.  The best way to do this is to create symbolic links from
${prefix}/share/jar/gnome-java-bridge.jar to the "jre/lib/ext" directory and
from ${prefix}/share/jar to the "jre/lib" directory, where $prefix is the
directory you specified in autogen.sh; the default value is "/usr/local".
A typical $JRE directory, if "which java" returned /usr/j2sdk1.4/bin/java,
might be /usr/j2sdk1.4/jre."
