Hi,
In case you didn't know, Phex is the best Gnutella client running on JDistro. There is just a minor problem with the splashscreen (not a Phex bug). JDistro is a shared runtime for Java (but also a swing desktop and more).

Hello Guillaume,

I had some problems with Phex inside JDistro. First the Phex GUI settigs (column widths etc.) are gone if started inside Körte (same L&F: PlasticXP). Then Phex was not properly terminated using the X button: Only the GUI was gone but some backgroud threads of Phex are still performing downloads (you can see this in the SmallThreadTree application). So I had to shut down JDistro, too.
Maybe the problems are only on my own Phex build from CVS. JDistro 032 was also built from source.

Hi Helge,

PlasticLF has a lot of problems comparing to other L&Fs. It is not really standard. Next release will contain some fixes to help but I have no plan to support it.

I haven't notice it but I will try again. Why JDistro should stop all threads, it would be better if the app does the cleaning itself.

You should be able to kill the thread directly with SmallThreadTree. I changed the status in the catalog from perfectly compatible to almost compatible.

BTW, 0.33 is out!
