You know... I appreciate all the great work put into porting jdks over to FreeBSD. I ususally find myself using the latest release from sun under linux emulation though... A small suggestion might be this, perhaps the fastest way to keep FreeBSD current with the latest releases of Java might be for the linux emulation to be worked on to the point to where it can run the linux jdk's perfectly. Complex java apps like IDEA crash the hell out of jdk1.4_01 :) But if the linux emulation was perfect, then everytime sun released a new JDK we could use in on FreeBSD :) Plus, considering what a complex program a JDK is... it will point out lots of bugs in Linux emulation. One funny aspect is how using the linux jdk, it properly(depending on who you ask) uses threads with rfork, so you get multiple processes, that is kind of cool. easy.com Sent by Mail at easy.com, an easyGroup company.
