The Linux Blackdown JDK is certainly available as part of the FreeBSD ports collection, so its maintenance (which would include usage and upgrading to 1.3 when that is release) probably falls within the scope of the list. Not only that, there have been previous discussions concerning running the Linux JDKs under emulation on the list, and I think that its certainly an appropriate place for it. Also note that without this ability it would be a lot harder to bootstrap the JDK 1.2.2 native build. Michael has raised some pertinent issues with running the HotSpot part of JDK 1.3 under emulation, and if anybody wants to run with that, then I'd personally encourage them to post any Java related questions or discussion topics to the list here. Obviously you'd get much more help with the nuts and bolts of the Linux emulation on the emulation list, but this is the place for Java stuff :). -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 5083 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
