Re: tn5250j what's required on the host side

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Bob,

I have only seen this a couple of times on my system and restarting is 
fix (at least for me).  The .jar I built for Aaron was a recompile for 
Java 6. I have an installer jar at my web site 
http://www.petesworkshop.com/downloads/tn5250j-install-0.6.2_beta-1.jar.  The 
latest, and I have updated the SF SVN repository (so you could build if 
you wanted), is 6.2-beta1.

I installed this fresh, just now, on an XP machine and it installed and 
ran fine.  I also have it running in Linux (SuSE 10.2) and Windows 7.  
So I am not sure what to make of your issue.  Since you can connect with 
telnet at the command prompt, I'm stumped.

The "warning" you get at startup is normal.  What is abnormal is a stack 
trace.  I also get Out of heap space messages that will cause it to 
crash after running it for several days so there is probably a leak or 
two that needs to be plugged and I agree with Aaron, one day we need to 
trim up the memory usage by running a profiler and getting to the bottom 
of things.

Pete
