I agree with you that the JDK 1.1 (kwhite) on FreeBSD is a fine working tool. I use it for _commercial_ product development and must say that I'm more productive under FreeBSD than Windows. (Altough we mostly _deploy_ on Windows :-( We chose BISS-AWT toolkit as our graphical front-end: it's *fast* and really cross-platform. It easily beats Sun's AWT or the other BWT product (I don't recall the exact compagny name). Also, my personal productivity has increased about 100% compared to C/C++ development.
