it's a fairly well established fact that java on freeBSD is sub-par, and has been since the beginning. http://www.volano.com/report/index.html for reasons that escape me, freebsd seems to be rather apathetic about the advancement of java on its platform, which is unfortunate. my theory is that java's closed nature isn't appealing to potential cleanroom vm developers. hopefully some day that will change, but as far as I can tell, there are no java champions high up the ladder of freebsd power (so to speak). please correct me if i'm wrong. speaking of which, can anyone speak to the current state of the sun licensing deal that was struck last year? I haven't heard anything about it after the initial hooplah. -mcclain On Saturday 09 March 2002 10:26 am, you wrote: > I have coded some simulator to study routing algorithms for my PhD thesis > and I have tried running my tests with jdk1.3.1/FreeBSD and > linux-jdk1.4.0/FreeBSD.
