Since I haven't seen any postings about this, here's mine:

The javac port (in the -current ports) appears to function properly under
-stable (dated 3/16/96).  Both it and the netscape3 port (which javac
needs) installed correctly.

I was able to compile and run the following:


mport java.awt.Graphics;

public class HelloWorld extends java.applet.Applet {

    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        g.drawString("Hello world!", 5, 25);
    }
}


Not a very strigent test, but hey!   As I said in another post, however,
under -stable I can't seem to be able to _view_ applets with Netscape3
("atlas").  I've been forced to keep Netscape2.01-linux around for that
purpose (running under the emulator).

I'd be interested in hearing what other FreeBSDers are doing with java.
