Description

FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\CurrentVersion'
has value '1.4', but '1.5' is required.
Error: could not find java.dll
Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment.

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
ANT 1.6.2

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Calling packager.exe with the following parameters works well if done frome CMD.exe:

packager.exe -clsid {83D226C9-8CC7-4FF8-B8B1-FDBAF361CBA6} -out dist VielstellenAnzeige.jar de.quipsy.client.ui.beans.vielstellenanzeige.VielstellenAnzeige

But if I do the same from within an ANT script, the VM crashes:

		<exec executable="${jdk.home}/bin/packager.exe" newenvironment="true">
			<env key="PATH" path="${vc98.path}" />
			<env key="INCLUDE" path="${vc98.include}" />
			<arg value="-clsid" />
			<arg value="${bean.clsid}" />
			<arg value="-out" />
			<arg path="${packager.out}" />
			<arg file="${module.name}" />
			<arg value="${bean.name}" />
		</exec>

The crash produces the following output:

    [exec] #
     [exec] # An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:
     [exec] #
     [exec] #  EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x77c17e9f, pid=4072, tid=1340

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
See ANT script in Description field. I can send you the VielstellenAnzeige.jar file so you can reproduce it. Just ask me to do so.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
As with every other JAR it should run fine.
ACTUAL -

SUGGESTED FIX the webrev could be found at http://sa.sfbay.sun.com/projects/awt_data/7/6355183/ it is also attached.
21-05-2007
EVALUATION it looks like this code was added to fix some painting problem (CR #4196958) which is specific for Windows 9x. And since Win98 is dropped by MS, we can safely remove this code, this way we will fix the crash and clean our code.
15-05-2007
EVALUATION Please reread the evaluation above. The root cause of the crash has been very clearly tracked down to that portion of the code in the AWT. The customer has indicated that the error messages at the beginning of the description came from a broken JDK installation but that the crash occurs with a working JDK.
13-01-2006
EVALUATION Though unable to reproduce the crash in-house, the three hs_err log files in one of the attachments (attached directly to the bug report for convenience) point to a place in awt.dll where it is calling in to the C runtime resulting in a crash. Extracting the awt.dll.map file from the 5.0u6 intermediate build results indicates that offset 0xe4818 in awt.dll is contained in the method AwtToolkit::detect_themes. Looking at the source code for this method, there is a point at which it performs a getenv of the environment variable SYSTEMROOT and, without checking the return result of this call, passes the value down to strcpy. This would be consistent with the symptom of the crash. I don't know why under only the circumstance of being run under Ant the SYSTEMROOT environment variable is not set (or, conversely, why this problem does not show up when AWT-based programs are run outside the context of Ant) but I believe this is the root cause of the crashes of packager.exe. At minimum a test of the return result of the getenv call should be introduced and if it's NULL then something different should be done. I'm transferring this bug to the AWT team for further investigation and resolution.
12-01-2006
EVALUATION At first, I'd ask you to handle somehow these messages: """ Error: could not find java.dll Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment. """ If problem still exist then it's unlikely the reason of that crash. Then tracked that fragment back (we thought it's a swing part) and found that it deals with the cursor performance.
