As I said, installing new jdks from source is hard to impossible because of space shortage on the freebsd server. I'd have to unload files (via modem!) to make space. If some kind soul could provide a binary jre with libraries for freebsd it would save an enormous amount of work. Only need the jre, not the full jdk. Whatever version is most stable, 1.2 or later. I've reconfigured the server so apache will handle the static pages, so it isn't quite so critical now if the dynamic pages go belly up. I've moved to a later jdk on linux and will revisit the freebsd situation during my next upload cycle. Currently using java version "1.2.2" Classic VM (build Linux_JDK_1.2.2_FCS, native threads, sunwjit). Will consider jdk1.3 next.
