Description
I recently downloaded and installed JPhotoBrush http://www.jphotobrushpro.com to show my son, who uses PhotoShop, that there are alternatives to the M$ world.
I have the "SMP friendly" version of java6 installed from ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/java/openjdk6_b19_rc/openjdk6_b19_jre_os2_rc-20110221_mpunsafe.zip and understood that it should only work on 1 cpu.
However, when running JPhotoBrush I see both cpus are in use - and trying to open files simply does not work, the cpus peak and after a short period of time when it is obvious that the app has got problems it is necessary to kill the app.

No feedback for too long. Irrelevant after fixing the SMP issue anyway. Closing.
I just tried JPhotoBrush 1.3 on my system (eCS 2.0) with OpenJDK RC2 and it works well, no symptoms you described. Note however that I use ACPI.SYS in UNI mode (no /SMP switch in CONFIG.SYS) which may make the difference. You understand it right, the MPUNSAFE flag should cause the OS/2 scheduler to stick the execution of process threads to a single CPU. I don't know why it works differently on your system.
Please try to disable SMP mode and report the results.
