Curious, are people using FreeBSD to develop Java apps ? >From my brief exposure to jdk1.1.5 , Swing, Beans, etc.., it seems that there is enough critical infra-structure to create useful apps also there are plenty of lessons there in OO methodology -- actually Java looks more like a cross-road of OO techniques. This is the have been trying to solve for FreeBSD : Provide or highlight a technology which people can actually use to develop applications. My first venture was to port X to 386bsd 0.0 , then porting of Inteviews, and later on tcl . Must say that neither of those technologies have been sufficient or catalysts for developing applications. So is Java the technology which will launch application development in FreeBSD?? When I am more up to speed on Java , my test target application will be a graphical front-end for my Pilot 8) Cheers, Amancio
