Re: scalac2

Hello,

I have also been encountering bizarre exceptions with the Mac OS X JVM. 
Somehow, it seems that Apple-designed JVMs just aren't as stable as the 
Sun or IBM ones.

You can try at least two things to fix that:

1. Upgrade to the latest version of Java 1.5 (JRE 1.5.0_06-103 and VM 
1.5.0_06-57) that is available for free from the Apple developer 
connection.

2. Switch back to Java 1.4. To do that, simply set the JAVACMD 
environment variable to 
'/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4/Home/bin/java', 
for example by executing in a BASH terminal the command: 'export 
JAVACMD=/System/...'. As long as this variable is set, SABBUS (the 
Scala build script) and the scala2 and scalac2 commands will use Java 
1.4.

Good luck,
Gilles @ LAMP.
