Description
Name: bsC130419			Date: 07/24/2001


java version "1.4.0-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-beta-b65)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-beta-b65, mixed mode)


java.lang.Process does not provide java.nio.channels.Channel objects for the
process stdin/stdout/stderr streams, making it impossible to multiplex these
streams.

Please add methods to Process which will allow access to SelectableChannel
objects for these streams.

WORK AROUND Name: bsC130419 Date: 07/24/2001 None. Old method is to spawn a blocking thread on each stream. ======================================================================
