Hi, I tested your changes, and I confirm that the code works fine in Pharo 5. Now, we just need to get them published :). Cheers, Doru On Sun, Aug 9, 2015 at 12:50 PM, Tudor Girba <tudor@tudorgirba.com> wrote:
Hi Joachim,
This is great news! Thanks a lot for looking into this.
Could you commit your changes? Or could you grant me access to the JNIPort project?
Cheers, Doru

Hi Tudor,
some progress in Pharo 5:

I also tried with Pharo4 and Pharo5, but it does not work because I get a MNU for GhostClassBuilder>>#client:.
I fixed it in a Pharo5 image by using #installer: instead, but the computation of "JVM newWithSettings: jvmSettings" does not seem to finish and it blocks the VM.
Changing the call of #client: to #installer: in GhostClassInstaller>>#initialize: was correct.
Any idea of what goes wrong?
Someone declared String>>subStrings: as deprecated in Pharo 4 or 5. When I ran âJVM newWithSettings: jvmSettingsâ, a notifier opened which warned about the deprecated method. I changed the method which used it in the debugger, then proceeded. The image blocked until I hit <cmd-.>. A debugger opened, it was in the middle of writing to the Pharo error log file. I proceeded, the image blocked again, I hit <cmd-.> again. A debugger opened which contained a very large stack of contexts with the method handleSignal: calling itself endlessly. There seems to be something wrong with handling/logging deprecation warnings in Pharo 5. Why do they have to be written to the error log in the first place? I donât think that they belong there.
There are four methods sending subStrings: in the package JNIPort-Java-Base. I changed them to use substrings: instead.
There are two methods in JNIPort-StringEncoding which send "Smalltalk isLittleEndianâ, String>>#asJavaLangStringEncodedByteArray and String>>#fromJavaLangStringEncodedByteArray:. This does not work anymore. I replaced this with "EndianDetector isLittleEndianâ.
After these changes, starting a JVM and executing the example script which you posted just worked fine.
Unfortunately, loading the test package JNIPort-Tests-Java-Base fails with an exception:
UTF8InvalidText(Object)>>subclassResponsibility UTF8InvalidText(Exception)>>defaultAction UndefinedObject>>handleSignal: Context>>handleSignal:
AFAIK, there was no problem when loading the package in Pharo 3. There seem to be two problems: The UTF8TextConverter seems to think that there is an invalid character in the source code file, and UTF8InvalidText has no #defaultAction method. Looks like a bug in Pharo 5 to me.
