I am using java 1.1.8 on FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE. If I compile the following code:

package scratch.test;

public class StaticTest { static { java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundle("scratch.test.StaticTest"); }

public static void main(String[] argv) { System.out.println("Hello World!"); } }

I get the following error:

# javac scratch/test/StaticTest.java # java scratch.test.StaticTest Can't find class scratch.test.StaticTest #

It doesn't matter if I compile if with JDK 1.3 on linux or jdk 1.1.8 on FreeBSD. It works fine in linux JDK 1.3 and FreeBSD JDK 1.2.2. It also works if I comment out the bit about the resource bundle. It doesn't make a difference if the properties file exists or not, it always fails on FreeBSD JDK 1.1.8, and on other JDKs it gives the correct error if the file is not found.
