hi there, May I state a point of using FreeBSD x86/x64 for to be used in java development. 1) that Sun's JDK source be available for use in FreeBSD x86/x64, Many thanks to Greg Lewis and the team to make things work. 2) Diablo-j[??]15 is a [semi-]formal support of Sun's Jave support via FreeBSD foundation It parallels to the MS-win/Linux support on Sun Java stream. In case you have any problems of using the ports/pkgs, please try the following: a) Get a stable system to have the system installed (at best, Single Processor one) b) Install the required packages such as xorg-6.9.0, open-motif, etc, from source (and turn on the -g debugflag if your're good at gdb) c) fetch the SCSL or any formal Licenced source code from Sun Micro, Inc and compile the jdk by either using the Linux-jdk or your previously freebsd-based jdk(1.4+) d) test your problematic 'jdk-specific' issues and see if problems occur again. Be frank, I hate to see noises from using only pkg_add way of packages and claim an PR. you, the administrator of your system, is responsible to make it well-behave as it should. Please leave the developers in more platform support, such as sparc64, ia64, alpha, etc. and better java-plugin, jws support and so on. Best wishes, Clarence CHU clcchu@hotmail.com _________________________________________________________________ Get 10Mb extra storage for MSN Hotmail.
