Apple's missing Java 6

If I can succeed, the Protege team will consider the policy of not waiting for Apple once a java release reaches its end of life. The disadvantage of such a policy is that apple users will probably be unhappy about needing to install and run on X11.

This will probably get more detailed when I do it the next time. I am trying the build from icedtea which I got with the following mercurial command.

    hg clone http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea6

I needed to get/install

• mercurial
• md5sum
• gawk
• eclipse-ecj.jar (eclipse.org)
• xalan.jar (xml.apache.org)
• giflib-devel (sourceforge.net)

Thus far my configure line looks like this:

./configure --enable-zero=yes  \
            --with-project=bsd --with-gcj-home=/usr/local/lib/gcj-4.2.2 \
            --with-ecj-jar=${jars}/eclipse-ecj.jar \
            --with-xalan2-jar=${jars}/xalan.jar  \
            --with-xalan2-serializer-jar=${jars}/serializer.jar \
            --with-xerces2-jar=${jars}/xercesImpl.jar \
            --with-rhino=${jars}/js.jar

My current error is

./configure: line : syntax error near unexpected token `XPROTO,'
./configure: line 11028: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(XPROTO, xproto,XPROTO_FOUND=yes,XPROTO_FOUND=no)'

From this [1] I found that pkg.m4 needs to be in autoconf's library path. I'm using fink and found that pkg.m4 was already in /sw/share/aclocal. I stuck a command line parameter (-B) into autogen.sh, but next time I'd just symlink /usr/local/share/aclocal.
