</div>No, but I did see the Queens.java error come up once and didn't know<br>
why. That could be it. I wonder what the problem is?<br>
<br>
Every time I've gotten a good build, I have always built with SoyLatte.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Just to add my status to this thread, I've now got a solid build using SoyLatte, and have got Remi's examples (from <a href="http://weblogs.java.net/blog/forax/archive/2009/01/method_handles.html">http://weblogs.java.net/blog/forax/archive/2009/01/method_handles.html</a>) up and running in my environment (including inside Eclipse).<br>
<br>I've written up my efforts here: <a href="http://boxcatjunction.blogspot.com/2009/04/invokedynamic-on-os-x-update.html">http://boxcatjunction.blogspot.com/2009/04/invokedynamic-on-os-x-update.html</a> - but it's mostly just a collation of the various sources I've used for my build.<br>
<br>I've also been talking with some people from the Perl world about helping with my toy Perl-like language (which will need to use invokedynamic heavily, if I'm understanding the use case right). I'll put out a blog post with the state of play on that project soon.<br>
<br>Still no dice with using OpenJDK7 to build mlvm - if anyone does manage to get it to build on OS X, could they let me / the list know?<br></div></div><br>Thanks,<br><br>Ben<br>
