As followup, the list-digest arrived with this in it:
- - - - -
Here is the relevant entry from the generated Info.plist file:
<key>VMOptions</key>
<string>
Resources/Java/v
Java/v
- - - - -
That's not correct, either, and it looks like the list-mailer did some
significant stripping of what it considers garbage.
I suspect the Info.plist is in the wrong text-encoding, or something like
that. A hexdump should show what the bytes are. If they aren't UTF-8,
it's probably wrong.
Which makes me wonder what editing tool was used on Info.plist, and what
its settings were.

It doesn't make any sense, on any platform, and may well cause Java to
malfunction.
When you insert it BEFORE the default boot classpath, you're going to cause
those (presumably older) Swing classes to be found before the latest Swing
classes. My sense is that it's going to be wrong, very wrong.
I can't think of any reason why the entirety of swingall.jar would have to
be in the boot classpath. Even as instructions for JDK 1.1, it doesn't
make sense, because there wasn't a "boot" classpath that was distinct from
classpath in 1.1.
I looked for instructions about using Artesia TEAMS on their web-site, but
didn't find anything. Can you point me to a URL where I can read their
instructions?
I didn't see any reference on their site to downloadable jars, either, so I
can't look into the vbjorb.jar, vbjapp.jar, and swingall.jar files they say
should be in the boot classpath.
If you can create a listing of the classes in those jars, and either put it
on a web page, or post to the list (if not too big), then we can see what
they're trying to accomplish by inserting into boot classpath.
The Terminal commands would be:
cd where/your/jars/are/located
jar -tf vbjorb.jar >vbjorb-list.txt
jar -tf vbjapp.jar >vbjapp-list.txt
jar -tf swingall.jar >swingall-list.txt
Then look into the .txt files just created.
