As others have pointed out, ShuJIT, OpenJIT,and TYA should all work. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your platform), HotSpot makes some assumptions about native threads that other JIT's don't necessarily make, so much of the speedups are moot when native threads aren't available. > > Is there any problem if jdk1.2.2-FreeBSD is available as a port ? There isn't a binary available, only patches. There's no automated way to 'build' it as a port. Hopefully we'll have binaries sometime in my lifetime. :( Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
