FULL PRODUCT VERSION :


ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
SunOS dobbertin 5.9 Generic_117171-07 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-10

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
# file /usr/jdk/jdk1.5.0/jre/lib/sparc/libawt.so
/usr/jdk/jdk1.5.0/jre/lib/sparc/libawt.so: ELF 32-bit MSB dynamic lib
SPARC32PLUS Version 1, V8+ Required, UltraSPARC1 Extensions Required,
dynamically linked, stripped


This makes Java 1.5 quite useless on older 32 bit SPARC processors.
(SuperSPARC et. al.). Higher requirements than generic Solaris 9 / 32 Bit
should be mentioned in a compatibility list - or maybe it is possible to
compile this library with some other compiler options to produce code
suitable for older processors?





STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
see above


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
