The recent discussion about obtaining/writing a JVM/JRE to integrate with Mozilla seems to have completely missed the point of why Netscape removed it in the first place. If you will recall, they announced its removal long before they announced the intention of making the Mozilla sources available. The reasoning was that existing JVM/JRE implementations are sufficiently solid on all (of Netscape's) targeted platforms that it does not make sense to duplicate the effort of maintaining one internally. We should be focusing on ensuring that Mozilla works with the existing, external, jdk-1.1.5 port and it's JRE. (And, of course, with any later jdk releases.) -Pat To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
