You mean use the classes from JDK 1.4 with the VM of 1.3? Why would you want to do that?
In any case, it seems it wouldn't work (here with 1.4 and 1.5beta):
java -Xbootclasspath:/usr/local/opt/jdk1.5.0/jre/lib/rt.jar
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.lang.Thread.start()VGreat, thanks a lot!
How are jars handled at the moment? Started with Main, the main-class in the manifest, both?
At present - with Main. We will add the manifest option when configuring Nice.
Is it possible to disable the inclusion of standard (library) classes in the jar file generated by the Nice compiler?
Not directly. Is that a problem?
I know the jar will be above the default limit, but that should not matter when submitting Nice source, right? Also, it's possible to use a tool to cut down on dead code. I tried proguard, and a simple Nice program gives a 17K jar file.
OK, jar files with/without manifests are now supported. Nice compiled to Bytecode works for TEST in 0.99s. The Nice compiler will be made available tomorrow.
Cool! I just solved TEST in 0.89s. Must have found a more clever algorithm 
Did you also use a tool to cut down the size, or did you internally bypass the size limit to run a nice program as JAR?
I just changed the submission size limit for the problem TEST for a moment .
But thanks for mentioning proguard; I hadn't realised that there existed an open source java obfuscator. These can get quite handy sometimes, especially if privacy (not necessarily secrecy) of source code is required.
I tried to use the JAVA class: com.braju.beta.format.Format and I am getting a compilation error. I read in a post that was added manually into the classpath...is it true? I was trying to see the diference between this and the standard InputStream reader for the palindrome problem.

I am afraid the post you are referring to was a little out of date. Indeed, until about a month ago we were using Blackdown JAVA 1.3, and the com.braju.beta.format.Format was available (it worked about twice as slowly as normal IO).
This class was not included in the new Java installation (Sun JAVA 1.5 beta2) for the simple reason, that the newly added standard classes java.util.Scanner and Formatter (as well as the printf method for some other classes) seemed to make it redundant.
Please note that since Sun's JDK 1.5 beta2 differs significantly from 1.5 beta1, and is much closer to the current ReleaseCandidate, you should only use the official documentation of these classes, and not other sources found in the Internet (since they are mostly out of date).
The following is an example of code that will work with the online judge:
We'll also add Nice, probably today..import java.util.Scanner;
class Main
{
public static void main (String [] args)
{
/*
// equivalent C code fragment
int i;
float f;
char s [50];
printf ("Enter three values -- integer float string: ");
scanf ("%d %f %s", &i, &f, s);
printf ("%d %f %s\n", i, f, s);
*/
System.out.printf ("Enter three values -- " +
"integer float string: ");
Scanner sc = new Scanner (System.in);
int i = sc.nextInt ();
float f = sc.nextFloat ();
String s = sc.nextLine ();
System.out.printf ("%d %f %s\n", i, f, s);
}
}But if you find that these classes do not meet your requirements, please let us know and we will add com.braju.beta.format to the classpath; this is no problem whatsoever.
Our apologies, there really was a problem with the JAVA environment for about 48h, but its been fixed now.
Hello,
does anybody know why my code is not accepted? I get "runtime error (NZEC)". Earlier when I additionally surrounded the code-line "x = eingabe()" with a try-catch block in order to catch a NumberFormatException from the parseInt()-method i even got "time limit exceeded"... On my machine it works correctly. Here is my code:
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.LinkedList;
public class Main
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int x;
LinkedList<Integer> l = new LinkedList<Integer>();
while(true)
{
x = eingabe();
if(x != 42)
{
l.add(new Integer(x));
}
else
{
break;
}
}
for(Iterator<Integer> i = l.iterator();i.hasNext();)
{
System.out.println(i.next());
}
System.exit(0);
}
static int eingabe()
{
String s = "";
try
{
s = new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.InputStreamReader(System.in)).readLine();
}
catch (java.io.IOException e)
{
}
return java.lang.Integer.parseInt(s);
}
}
Why my following code get runtime error (NZEC)?
Help!!!
