[Biojava-l] Error with VisualJ++

[Mark Schreiber]

Hi -

I must say that I am surprised that Visual J++ works at all. Visual J++ is
not "pure java", more a kind of Java for windows. Code generated by visual
J++ is not portable (I think), however that doesn't answer you question.

My guess would be that the VM provided by J++ is not pure java either,
where as the one provided with Jbuilder (usually hotspot) is.

I also had a feeling that J++ only supported upto "java" 1.1 whereas
biojava generally requires at least 1.2, although the fact that you can
get it to build suggests that the java version is not a problem in this
case.

my advice would be to avoid using J++ if possible.
