Hello everybody - I've just finished compiling BISS-AWT 0.94 on my FreeBSD machine here. Some of you many not know about BISS-AWT so that's why I'm posting... BISS-AWT is a replacement for Sun's AWT package. It provides many enhanced "widgets" and tools for Java developpers and it's *much* faster than Sun's AWT. Among other things, BISS includes JDE, a pure java integrated environment/source editor/widget layout editor. Also, BISS-AWT includes a native layer (peers and such) for Kaffe 0.92 which means that we can now use Kaffe and have a nice GUI. BTW: It's now compatible with the JDK 1.1.x event model. A few pointers (might not have been updated since the latest BISS-AWT release, though...): Home page: http://www.biss-net.com FTP mirrors: http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/Mirrors.cgi Note that you'll have to modify the Makefiles/source a bit to run under FreeBSD. Ask me for details... >From what I've tried, it won't run all of your existing Java apps (emulating Sun's AWT widgets/peers) but if you use BISS-AWT explicitly in your apps, it shines.
