 Hi,
 
 The Date class requires access to locale data which is loaded 
 dynamically via Class.forName(). Because they are dynamically loaded the 
 linker can't see the dependency on the resources when static linking - 
 you must explicitly tell it to link it in somehow.
 
 One way to do this is to put declarations like:
 
 static Class calendar = gnu.java.locale.Calendar.class;
 
 in the main class of your application, where "gnu.java.locale.Calendar" 
 is the bundle name reported in the MissingResourceException. You can 
 also add linked options to the gcj command line, but this is generally 
 easier.
 
 regards
 
 Bryce.
