8/18/99 eval1127@eng -- bombs on Solaris, too. Will check against older JDK 1.1.x.

Works fine with JDK 1.1.7B on Solaris, at least:

./jpython
JPython 1.1beta2 on java1.1.7
Copyright (C) 1997-1999 Corporation for National Research Initiatives
>>> from java.awt import Frame
>>> Frame("of reference is JDK 1.1.7 -- 1.1.8 appears to have a BUG")
java.awt.Frame[frame0,0,0,0x0,invalid,hidden,layout=java.awt.BorderLayout,resizable,title=of reference is JDK 1.1.7 -- 1.1.8 appears to have a BUG]
>>>

Will try on Win32...

Same results on Win32: JDK/JRE 1.1.7B works fine...but 1.1.8 bombs ... Will file FYI bug

NOTE: JPython ALSO works fine under 1.2.2 !!!

----------- original user description of the problem: ------------------------

1. From the JPython web site, download and install version 1.1beta 2.
   Once installed (may take a bit of fiddling to get environment
   all set up), start up the interpreter (jpython.bat) and enter
   the commands as shown below:
      
JPython 1.1beta2 on java1.1.8

>>> from java.awt import Frame
>>> Frame("title")

5. I've only installed the JRE which doesn't seem to have -version
 or -fullversion options. The JRE banner is:

Java(tm) Runtime Loader Version 1.1.8
