Thanks for asking about this. Upon taking a quick look, I don't think there is any particular reason. My guess is that simply noone noticed we weren't building it. This isn't surprising given that it looks to me like its not built on Solaris/Linux/Windows either, its simply extracted from a zip file. It also looks like the source code is also zipped up, which makes it harder to notice its even there. > Second thing: it could be useful to have a knob in all jdk ports to > install the unrestricted security policy files, so that every update > won't replace them. I'd be happy to review patches :). -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
