Where did you get this from? I had to move away from 112 because the simple "this is my first Java app" I was writing kept causing the compiler to crap out. (not a porting issue, as the AIX version suffered similarly). Additionally, several bugs I fixed in the port, I rely upon (some causal implications here for the philosophical). Namely, FP was broken, randomly losing the FP state. Also, the native method invokation neglected to save/restore a register, which resulted in fanciful wanderings/references upon return. The 115 port, while still quite buggy, in part possibly due to a bunch of awt/motif changes between 114 and 115, seems at times to be more buggy than 114 (and 114 fixed most of the compiler problems). There are varying requirements, which appear to be met with varying degrees of success by the various ports. Perhaps we can attempt a coordinated effort to address some of these problems? (Attempting to move this to freebsd-java...)
