This article was previously published under Q199226

SUMMARY

Visual J++ 6.0 has several features that rely on functionality shipping in Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 (SP4). This Windows NT Service Pack was not available at the time that Visual J++ 6.0 shipped. Most of the features that are required from Windows NT 4.0 SP4 are related to MTS Java classes and MTS bug fixes for the Visual J++ debugger.

MORE INFORMATION

Windows NT 4.0 SP4 fixes the following Visual J++ problems or issues:
  • ComFailException in Java, or "Class does not support Automation" errors in Visual Basic. These occur when calling methods of an MTS Java component from the Options command on the Tools menu, and click Debugger and Java, and select Attach to running programs.
  • Various errors when trying to Debug an MTS Java object, including Dr. Watson errors or IDE crashes.
  • NoClassDefFoundError on com.ms.mtx.AppServer when trying to use the MTS Context Java class.
  • A rare deadlock problem when trying to Just-In-Time (JIT) debug a Java program a second time after first answering NO to the JIT debugging dialog, when the first Java program is still running.
  • Remote attaching to Mtx.exe hosting Java may result in server busy dialog box.
Windows NT 4.0 SP4 also ships the latest version of MTS and its Java COM Wrapper classes.

Information on the availability of Windows NT 4.0 SP4 will be published on the Windows Downloads page.
