Dear Octave Java developers,
I am a member of the Debian Octave Group, and I am currently working on
packaging for Debian the Octave Java package that you developed.
I have two unrelated questions for you:
1) The files 'src/org/octave/TeXtranslator.java' and
'src/org/octave/TeXcode.java' have "Copyright (c) 2010 Martin
Hepperle" but no license in the header. I presume that they are
distributed under the GPL version 2 or later, like the rest of the
package, but I would like to have an explicit confirmation of
this. Please consider adding a license notice in the header in
futures releases.
2) I have been able to succesfully build and run the package on Debian
with OpenJDK 6 (I just had to rename ".../server/libjvm.so" to
".../client/libjvm.so" in '__java__.cc', since the former does not
exist in the Debian OpenJDK 6 package). However, when compiled
against GCJ 4.4 or GCJ 4.6, the package crashes Octave. A debug
traceback shows that the crash occurs in the JNI call which is
supposed to create the VM. I would therefore like to know if you have
ever successfully run the Octave Java package against GCJ (or heard
about somebody doing so).
Thanks for your work and for your feedback,
