Just to put my bit in as well, I haven't experienced any problems at all
with the JDK 1.1.6 (apart from, as you said, the window manager/applet
viewer prob). I've noticed that the javadoc program is a true chewer of
memory; this though is also a cross-platform problem (good thing about
cross-platform software; you get cross-platform bugs :)

Anyway, thanks very much to all who put the time in to make Java on
FreeBSD a reality. This has helped me no end in testing
Internet/intranet apps on a quality OS. When Win crashes once too often
or misbehaves as usual, its comforting to know I can jump onto my BSD
box with Apache, Java servlets, the JDK and all the other bells and
whistles... and have it work.

Joe Shevland.
