159610 - Java crash [@JVM_GetSystemPackage] on applet creation if the application pathname contains a '/'

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[J.J. Enser]

Using any Mozilla/Netscape/ProjectX OSX build (trunk or branch) crashes when
loading the MRJ Plugin if the access path to the browser contains a slash (i.e.
"Mozilla 7/26")

If sfraser is correct, this may be an Apple problem rather than a Netscape
problem. More investigation is needed.

I can't reproduce this issue with the 2002-10-14-03 trunk running under OS X
10.2. Anyone still see this happening ?

Comment 4

[J.J. Enser]

It still crashes for me. Just to make sure, we're talking about mozilla cfm,
downloaded from
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/2002-10-14-08-trunk/mozilla-macosX-trunk.smi.bin

copying the "mozilla" folder into a folder named "moz cfm 10/14" caused a crash
when clicking on any applet listed at http://java.sun.com/applets/other/

Ok, I can reproduce it now.

By the definitions on <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/bug_status.html#severity> and
<http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?format=guided>, crashing and dataloss
bugs are of critical or possibly higher severity.  Only changing open bugs to
minimize unnecessary spam.  Keywords to trigger this would be crash, topcrash,
topcrash+, zt4newcrash, dataloss.

I had this bug ever since I switched to 1.2 (on RH 7.x and 8.0). I finally fixed
it by installing IBM's SDK 1.4.  It works great now.  Stay away from Sun's JDK.

-> default assignee for old netscape assigned bugs.

We don't support OJI any more, so closing this out.
