Rock Readers of this thread should note that the possibility of a port of TowerJ to FreeBSD in the intermediate future (i.e., 2nd quarter) is looking good at the moment. We are talking to several potential ISV partners and closing a deal with 1 more should trigger the port. A few points regarding statements in this thread: 1) TowerJ can be used for servlets -- that works today by compiling the servlet into your servlet engine or server app. TowerJ 3.0 (in external Beta) adds support for true dynamic loading as well. 2) One Tower customer is using Linux emulation to allow a TowerJ compiled application to run on FreeBSD today. (I understand why that option is considered distasteful to most readers of this list, but I thought that I should offer it up anyway.) 3) We still don't directly support GUI. Indirect support for AWT comes via IBM's RemoteAWT and we are looking at several other alternatives as well, but GUI is not a high priority.
