I basically just wanted some feedback on what our libc and threading libraries are lacking/not implementing properly in order to support a native JDK. > BTW, what's the status on KSE ? See http://people.freebsd.org/~jasone/kse . Jason's time will be very limited now, so someone needs to pick up the ball WRT the kernel side of things.

This should be taken off the java list (probably -arch) if there's any need for follow-ups. -- Dan Eischen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
