Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.88e Reply_To: Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Everybody, I seem to remember somebody complaining that there was no 'real' JDK-1.1 available for FreeBSD. As I'm also a little impaired by the lack of a 1.1 JDK, so I was wondering if somebody was currently working on a port. If not, I might volunteer to do one. Oops, accidentally used the 'v' word :-). However the usual lack of time, the usual work commitments etc. blah blah mean that I would not be able to start before the end of January. Before I start, I would actually like to get some answers to the following questions: - Is there any interest for such a port? Considering my usual state of overworkedness, such an undertaking should make sense to more people than just myself. I can *probably* live with using the Linux port. - Any others that are interested in joining this effort? - Other comments and suggestions are welcone, of course. BTW, please cc me on any mails as I don't currently subscribe to -hackers from this account. Changing jobs in the next two weeks would otherwise mean that I loose all the mail to hackers. Timo
