Betreff: Re: [mkgmap-dev] max-jobs patch

I tried renaming the java library to force a failure and got a java error "Error occurred during initialization of VM" before any mkgmap code was executed, so to be on the safe side, I have removed that code and amended the message in the attached patch.

Regards,
Mike

Since it is just used for an informational message, you could just
surround it with a try/catch block.  Then if it doesn't
exist on a particular it isn't a problem when using the
downloaded pre-compiled distribution.

Of course it would fail to compile on such a platform, but then
hopefully someone will let us know and we can decide what to do then.
