It's mixed, but they're kind of the same thing, so working threading issues are pretty much essential for doing JVM hacking. Basically, I need to continue with my career track and it's not logical for me to narrow myself doing JVM internals programming. I never really got to do kernel programming when I was at BSDi per se even though I was headed into the core engineering staff. The JVM was sort of a misguided suicidal test for anybody at any technical level to see if I can handle it or not. I think I won. ;) > How lean is the FreeBSD Java team right now?

It's pretty much just Greg now part time. I'm still half working on it since I'm around all the dependent systems, but I'd really like to get into other more kernelly stuff at this time. I talked to Jeffery Hsu about this on IRC and he thinks it's a good manuever. > Also I would like to know whether the JVM patchset releases are pretty much > frozen because of the work around KSEs.

(That's my rough perception of it) I'll be more tightly integrated to pthreads issues until development gets decoupled by a backport effort of -current's libc_r. That's my guess. bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
