I just checked freebsd.org's java page, and the last thing I saw mentioned was "Greg Lewis has just announced that the native FreeBSD JDK 1.2.2 port has entered alpha test stage", dated May 3rd. Here's my situtation: I'm developing a project that requires some server-side code, which I'd like to write in Java, and I'd like to use FreeBSD as a platform. Some of the code will consist of standalone services, and some will be accessed via the Web, which I'd like to write in JSP (I suppose I could live with plain ol' servlets, but I'd rather not). My code is mostly 1.1 compliant, except that I use Collections quite a bit. I'm assuming that he preferred way to implement this goes something like this: 1) Install Apache + Tomcat 2) Assuming that Tomcat comes with a 1.1-compliant JDK, somehow add the Collections classes to its class path. 3) That's pretty much it. Is there any preferred, non-hackish way to add Collections to Tomcat? Has this already been taken care of?
