This is a new set of ALPHA source code patches for the JDK 1.2.2 source. These patches are unofficial and no abuse should be directed towards the FreeBSD java porting team for them :). This new set (patchset 10) can be gotten from http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsddom/java/jdk.html (this message is included in the downloadable tar ball as the file ANNOUNCEMENT). Note that the way the patchsets may be downloaded has changed to make sure they are fully compliant with the SCSL. I apologise for the added difficulty, but this is important. Note also the addition of a ChangeLog file so that the differences with the "standard" JDK code can be seen (this is also in the interests of SCSL compliancy). Please read the file THANKS for a list of the large number of people who should be thanked that things have gotten this far! The following ISSUES have been addressed since patchset 9 (see the ISSUES files for more details -- note that issues fixed since patchset 6 with no adverse affects reported have been removed). Issue 6. The DPS libraries included with XFree86 4.0 appear to be a viable alternative to DGS and are compatibly licensed. Thanks to Taguchi-san for pointing this out. There is more information contained in the FAQ. Issue 7a. Audio is now reported to be mostly working again. A big vote of thanks to Rob Furphy for tracking this down! Additional problems that hadn't made it to the ISSUES list that have been addressed in this patchset: 1. A working font.properties.ja file was provided by Daichi T.GOTO. 2. Fix a bug in the assembler version of the Java execution code which appeared under profiling on Pentium machines (thanks to Fuyuhiko Maruyama). 3. Implement CPU time profiling (thanks to Fuyuhiko Maruyama). 4. Build the internationalised (ext) source so that i18n.jar and iiimp.jar are available (thanks to Fuyuhiko Maruyama) For more information about the port, consult Kees Jan Koster's web pages at http://web.inter.nl.net/users/kjkoster/java/index.html Please test as much as possible! -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 5083 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
