I'm having a few problems using java with netscape 3.0b4, b5, & b5a 
under BSDI.  Can anyone confirm that there is a problem with java in 
these versions (I've heard such)?

Did the b1 - b3 work fine with java and netscape?  Does anyone know 
where I can get them?

The error I get when I try to use java from the command line ("netscape 
-java") is that it cannot locate the Thread class (java/lang/Thread, I 
believe).  The CLASSPATH is set correctly (as far as I can tell). 



What I need is a Java VM that runs under the command-line of BSDI.  
Kaffe is too limited right now (it won't run the class that I need run). 
Netscape runs the class fine from the command line under Linux, but not 
under BSDI....  =(


Thanks for any help!
