2 hours for a JDK build?  I envy you your hardware. :-)

There's no doubt in my mind that FreeBSD is becoming a better Java
platform with time.  My only concern is whether it's happening fast
enough.  This is much less an issue with the BSD Java Porting Team than
it is with 5.x's slow development.

Well, that's my opinion, and you know what those are worth. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
