First off, Good Year to anyone.

I'd like to share my thoughts on the FreeBSD binary java distribution
and the FreeBSD Foundation issue.

I pretty much acklowledge the efforts of the FBSDF, as well as
that the diablo jdk13 is the only one achievement of the FBSDF, at least 
as it presented
in their site. Also ,the funding of Alexey's work was essential
in the viability of the jdk14 port.

However, as another person said, freebsd users
only use the port and not the binary.
And taking into account the many areas of need in the rest of
the system in its current status (5-STABLE, CURRENT),
i think it would make sense to save the money that was supposed
to go to SUN, for funding development of other areas in the system.

Most users are quite happy with jdk14 i suppose.
