I vowed to get something out this weekend, but unfortunately I failed. Due to a number of little things that took alot more time than expected, plus the final stumbling block I was unable to create a beta FreeBSD build for FreeBSD. I'll skip the minor details, but the major detail is related to the fact that in order to build a 'publically redistributable' binary, I have to link in Motif statically in the java binary (Java uses Motif). However, if I link it in statically, it fails to work. I don't know why this is, and my feeble attempts to work around it are for naught. At this point, I need to go review the Linux diffs, and see what they've done. It's possible that they aren't worrying about the legal repercussions, or they have a better solution than I'm aware of. In any case, I apologize for not getting something to the facts that are waiting for a native FreeBSD port. However, as I understand it, there appears to be a port for the Linux version which works in emulation mode, although I haven't any experience with it.
