This is a new set of ALPHA source code patches for the JDK 1.2.2 source. These patches are unofficial and no abuse should be directed towards the FreeBSD java porting team for them :). This new set (patchset 7) can be gotten from http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsd-jdk122-patches-7.tar.gz (this message is included in the tar ball as the file ANNOUNCEMENT). Note that the latest version of the patchset can always be gotten from http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsd-jdk122-patches-latest.tar.gz Please read the file THANKS for a list of the large number of people who should be thanked that things have gotten this far! The following ISSUES have been addressed since patchset 6 (see the ISSUES files for more details). Issue 1. The JDK now runs correctly on FreeBSD 4.x and 5.x thanks to Steve Price! This was the big step that got me to call the port alpha rather than pre-alpha. Issue 3. Some preliminary work has been done on the Alpha port (again by Steve Price). Issue 14. The support for other JIT compilers, which got somewhat broken in patchset 6, is working again. Issue 8c. The "Unsatisfied link error" that people got when trying to use libcmm.so has been (kind of) fixed. That is, its been fixed, but not in the correct fashion. Additional problems that hadn't made it to the ISSUES list that have been addressed in this patchset: 1. The JDK now receives the right timezone information (thanks to Rob Furphy). 2. A much greater range of locales should now be supported (thanks to Taguchi-san <taguchi@tohoku.iij.ad.jp>). 3. There should be no more permissions problems with building the release-images target. In addition to this, some of the fixes from the released Linux JDK source code have been merged in. For more information about the port, consult Kees Jan Koster's web pages at http://web.inter.nl.net/users/kjkoster/java/index.html Please test as much as possible! -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 5083 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
