104134 - Packages.packageName.className in javascript causes app crash

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 100151

(Core Graveyard :: Java: Live Connect, defect)

Description

[blakewilliams1]

Using buids from 0.9.4, up through nigthly build 2001101003, using the Packages
statement in a javascript function to load a Java class causes a crash. I've
tried both 1.3.1_01 and 1.4 jre libraries, and either causes a crash. The
classes in java.util.* and java.lang.* work correctly as long as Packages is not
prepended. i.e. var date = new java.util.Date() works, but var date = new
Packages.java.util.Date() causes a crash. Haven't had any success with classes I
have created and compiled either.

[e-mail]: can you attach a reduced HTML testcase
to this bug (via the "Create a new attachment" link above)

That will speed things along considerably - thanks. 

I think I've missassigned this to Rhino. Reassigning to LiveConnect -

Related to bug 100151?  "LiveConnect crash on Moz 0.9.4"
Reassigning to Patrick for analysis -

One of these two bugs is a duplicate of the other: this bug and bug 100151. 
Don't know which way to dupe, because I don't know who is responsible for 
defining the Packages object in the browser: the LiveConnect component or OJI?

Packages object always seems to be defined in standalone LiveConnect shell -

My apologies - not all my Mozilla binaries have Java2 installed. 
That's why Packages was coming up undefined for me in Mozilla.

When I have the Java2 plug-in installed, my trunk binaries dated
20011016xx on WinNT, Linux crash badly on the testcase above.
I can't even get a stack trace with my debug builds!

On Linux, I even crash when clicking on the "No Packages" 
button in the testcase...

Taking the descision and marking this a dup of bug 100151 since it has target
milestone defined and higher severity.

Btw. this works in 0.9.2!!! so it's kinda regression...
