StatCVS-0.2.2 fails at startup with the following exception:

$ jamvm -jar ~/statcvs-0.2.2/statcvs.jar logfile.log mauve 
StatCVS - CVS statistics generation

This is a regression...it was working a few months ago, as I ran this just before FOSDEM (and perhaps even more recently).

I'm using JamVM 1.4.3 and a very recent version of GNU Classpath from CVS.

I extended the warning code to print what the actual linkage error was:

handlerName: java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler

So the statcvs code is using some internal sun class.
Comment 2 david.gilbert 2006-07-23 09:58:58 UTC 
Thanks.  I patched StatCVS (some time ago) so that it doesn't require that non-portable class, and now I'll close this bug report.
