[armedbear-devel] Fixes to LispShell.java for 0.23.0

[Frank Pursel]

All,

I downloaded the latest version of J a couple of days ago (J version
0.23.0) and had some difficulties getting it to compile using
java-6-sun's compiler version 1.6 update 20.  Here are the modifications 
I made to LispShell.java to get it to compile cleanly against a fresh build of 
the newest abcl (ver 0.19.1, though I don't think it matters):

I hope it's helpful.  I was unable to get abcl to compile cleanly
using the lisp build method.  It failed with messages telling me that
it, variously, could not autoload load or that it could not load
'system'.  When I used ant I had no problems. 

Best wishes on an excellent project.

Sincerely,
Frank Pursel
