Just like gcc needs a C compiler to bootstrap itself, javac needs another java compiler to bootstrap itself (as its written in Java). So far, we have used the Linux version to bootstrap unless an existing native version is available. It may be possible to use Jikes, but there would need to be some patches to the build to achieve this. This may become necessary for the 5.0 (aka 1.5) port as the Linux version doesn't currently run under emulation. > 2)What are you think about java (and of course jdk) future on freebsd. > I saw freebsdfoundations last message dated last year, and nothing more. > Doesnt project stop or going to? The project is still going, expect to hear more soon. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
