I can't run HotSpot with 1.2FCS-O. When I run SwingMark I get this.

If I run with the -classic switch, it works as desired.

Also if I use the 10/21 hotspot build with 1.2FCS-K, then everything seems OK. It looks like some incompatibility has developed.

The exact version of SwingMark I was using is located at:

/home/wilsonsd/NewSwingMark

just type

java SwingMark

to run it.
