Or, we can act like alot of other applications in the system and dump application specific 'libraries' (jars) in /usr/local/app/lib. That's what we (my company) does with it's Java application. For the most part, the libraries are very rarely shared, and because Java (the implementation) changes so fast, it's harder to write libraries that are generically useful. That and the fact that the base libraries are pretty useful. :) Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
