If this Open Motif can be distributed as a port or package for FreeBSD itself (and it seems to me that it can), then what hassle is that for JDK on FreeBSD? My guess is the Open Motif port/package will exist on FreeBSD anyway, for those who want motif but are not going to install JDK. At that point, it's just another package-dependency for the JDK like any other package-dependency. Certainly no one will want TWO copies of Open Motif... --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
