'java.lang.String' has no method

[Keith]

Thanks. That was it.I was using libgcj-4.3.0.jar rather than 
libgcj-4.4.0.jar

Does libgcj-4.4.0.jar support Java 1.6? If so there are some 1.6 methods 
missing for java.util.ResourceBundle and java.net.NetworkInterface. If 
not, then never mind.
Eventually, I will try and suggest some patches for the the missing 
methods, but right now
I have code to get out so I am doing 1.5 work-a-rounds.

Thanks,

Keith
