So could anybody tell me if : * there is a plan (or how to get to one existing) * what the plan is * what other java related plans are in FreeBSD * if thereare obvious concrete ways somebody could help * what these ways would be I can promise to make a patches to the existing web pages @ http://www.freebsd.org/java/howhelp.html about the state if somebody explains it ...
