Hi Andrew, >Mixing C++ classes and gcj classes isn't impossible, but I'd not say it was a >good idea. My C++ helper classes _Jv_Win32TempString, WSAEventWrapper (win32.h) and _Jv_TempUTFString (jvm.h), which rely on stack-based destructors to free resources, have all come running to me with frightened looks in their eyes asking me to ask you what you mean by this.... :) -- Mohan http://www.thisiscool.com/ http://www.animalsong.org/
