Hello, (sorry for having missed some of the latest developments in FreeBSD-Java in the last couple of years). The last few days, i have been deploying a new machine (AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor) with FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE, as my main (next) development platform. I noticed that - diablo-jdk1.6.0/amd64 is not precompiled for FreeBSD 8.0, (but for FreeBSD 7.0) shouldn't there be one? - there is openjdk16, which says that it will supercede jdk16 in the future, but the maintainer is not Greg Lewis, what is Greg's involvement/relationship with this? - there is no openjdk17 port, it is expected to be available in the future? - javawrapper does not behave like it used to. Now it is basically relying on /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.java.mk Anyway, I installed diablo-jdk1.6.0 (for FreeBSD 7.0) from ports, and openjdk6 from ports, haven't installed any real app to do performance testing. Has anyone done any comparisons? Anyway, I would like to give Greg, the FreeBSD Foundation, and all others which contrubuted many many thanks for providing java to FreeBSD all those years. -- Achilleas Mantzios
