If you update your CVS tree, JMark's install shield should run.
I just ran it over an 28.8k modem line. Doing that, I noticed that the
first screen takes 3 or 4 full repaints (each takes several seconds,
that's how I noticed.) Plus, the "do you want to create the directory
dialog" was shifted to the top, so parts of it were obscured by the window
decoration.
Pretty cool, eh?
Thinking about it some more, my concerns about loading too eagerly
are probably unfounded. Suppose we had a real verifier. How else
would that verifier know, for instance, whether a given type is
compatible unless it actually went out and got the bytecode, parsed
it and looked at it? This, however, does require calls to loadClass
(though not initializing classes.)
Enjoy,
Godmar
