Tim,
I don't know what the beanbox is.
I fixed one bug recently, see test/regression/BeanBug.java.
I used classpath's beans and had success with JSDK2.0. Get them from
http://www.cs.utah.edu/~gback/cpbeans.jar
Since I fixed the bug above, I haven't had a chance to try the JSDK
with kaffe's beans again. Its failing looked similar to what I fixed.
Try cpbeans.jar --- if that fixes things, kaffe's beans are broken.
If not, either cpbeans is broken or it's kaffe's serialization.
It did not say I used classpath's java.awt.Component (do they even have one?)
However, serialization interoperability is only an issue if you try to
interoperate with objects serialized by Sun's JDK. Does beanbox do that?
In any event, Sun has published complete serial forms; note that the
1.2 doc that comes with the download is not complete; you need to go
to Sun's website for the latest info.
Hope that helps,
- Godmar
