Hi all,

Patchset 7 for JDK 1.3.1 is up on the web site.  The main highlights are:

1. A number of bug fixes (most of these had previously been included in
   the FreeBSD port).
2. Out of the box NetBSD support.
3. The HotSpot VM has reached alpha status.

See THANKS and ChangeLog in the patchset for more information.

The requirements and method for building HotSpot is not yet documented
and the update to the FreeBSD port doesn't feature support for building
HotSpot as yet.  This is currently for the adventurous who understand
what they are doing.

If you are a Chinese, Japanese or Korean user you should still also apply 
the Open Motif patch from http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=30421
and rebuild Open Motif before building the JDK.  This prevents a potential
memory fault when using XIM.  The patch will become unnecessary on your
platform once the Open Motif port/package has been updated.

An update for the FreeBSD port/java/jdk13 port will be committed shortly.
