I have a Windows 2000 (on a P3) box running buildtest now, but it's
blowing up. I couldn't get DRLVM to do much of anything. The classlib
+ ibmvm runs, but the tests for AWT/Swing always fail because they're
dependent on some XP/2003 library.

Andrey, your new patch does not check that DrawThemeBackground is found.

Ok, but then you should avoid calling of this method but not just call
assert inside.

So I was right in my concerns...
I would change the patch to something like the following...
=== cut ===
static void (__stdcall *drawThemeBackground) (void*, void*, int, int,
void*, void*) = NULL;
static int isUxThemeAvailable = 1;
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL
Java_org_apache_harmony_awt_theme_windows_WinThemeGraphics_drawXpBackground
(JNIEnv * env, jclass clazz, jlong gip, jint x, jint y, jint
w, jint h,
jlong hTheme, jint type, jint state) {
if (isUxThemeAvailable && drawThemeBackground == NULL) {
HMODULE libUxTheme = LoadLibrary("UxTheme");
isUxThemeAvailable = libUxTheme != NULL;
if (isUxThemeAvailable) {
drawThemeBackground = (void (__stdcall *) (void*, void*,
int, int, void*, void*)) GetProcAddress(libUxTheme,
"DrawThemeBackground");
isUxThemeAvailable = drawThemeBackground != NULL;
}
}
if (!isUxThemeAvailable)
return;
GraphicsInfo *gi = (GraphicsInfo *)gip;
RECT bounds = { (int)x, (int)y, (int)x + (int)w, (int)y + (int)h };
drawThemeBackground((void*) hTheme, (void*) gi->hdc, (int) type,
(int) state, (void*) &bounds, (void*) NULL);
}
=== cut ===
Disclaimer. I've never tested this code and I'm diving in Egypt. So I
do not guarantee that this code is ok! :)

Yeah, that's what it is doing. The tests are just being reported as VM crashes.
What's the intention of this patch? I thought it was to make
uxtheme.dll optional, but it just fails it in a different way.

Alexey,
AFAIU the method drawXpBackground() should not be invoked under win2000,
but if I'm not right the asserts should be removed. I'll attach a new
patch without asserts.
