Hi,

I have tried to run JabRef (from jabref.sourceforge.net) using the SableVM
obtained from the Debian/testing repository.

I obtained a runtime error, which I mailed to the program's list. I was advised
that this was a bug specific to SableVM and that I should report it here.

Following are : version numbers, error report, and from the jabref mailing list
the code which allegedly creates this error (note I am unable to verify this part).

Cheers
 aurelien.

It would be useful if you could tell them what String was passed to the
method... mmm... I've looked at the JabRef code from where this error
occurs, and it's this piece:

   Logger.global.setLevel(java.util.logging.Level.ALL);
   java.util.logging.Handler handler;
   try {
     handler = new FileHandler(logfile); // this will overwrite
   }
   catch (IOException e) { //can't open log file so use console
       e.printStackTrace();
     handler = new ConsoleHandler();
   }
   Logger.global.addHandler(handler);

The handler = new FileHandler(logfile); line...
