Well...to do a kind of mini-status report: The JDK compiles with the classic VM and green threads. However, java is crashing and burning on any Swing type app and appletviewer is acting similarly. It might be something in the X code, but javadoc exhibits the same behaviour if I try and build the release images (and I noticed it doesn't reference libawt on the core dump in gdb). By the same token, javac, javah and jar perform without any problems during the build process, so much of the code is probably correct. I guess you'd call that pre-alpha :). I would like to release a patchset if people are interested, but its definitely developer only. I could do with the help :). If this is the way we go, something will probably come out on the weekend. We're also reasonably close to getting some sort of native threads support I think, thanks mainly to some contributions from Bill Huey. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Mobile: 0419 868 494 Information Technology Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
