Description Jimmy Kelley 2014-10-17 14:58:43 UTC 
The java.io.ProcessBuilder bug has reappeared (BUG 188980), but this time it's affecting the openjdk8 port, and for some strange reason it's only showing up in the i386 architecture version.

I found this while working on updating the Eclipse port to the latest version and building it on my Pourdriere machine.  I get the same error on FreeBSD 8.4, 9.3, and 10.0.

See BUG 188980 for a simple Java program that duplicates the problem.

Comment 2 Jimmy Kelley 2014-10-29 12:29:07 UTC 
I've tracked the cause of the problem down to the fact that the os.arch system property ( System.getProperty("os.arch") ) that used to return 'i386' on the 32-bit FreeBSD platforms is now returning 'x86'; this causes the ProcessBuilder to fail when it's looking for the process spawner helper in the {java.home}/lib/{os.arch} directory because the installation is putting the arch-specific native stuff in a 'i386' directory.

Works great!  I even have the Eclipse upgrade I've been working on successfully built and running with it.

Thanks!
