Hi all, Patchset 6 for JDK 1.3.1 is up on the web site. The main highlights are: 1. The Java web browser plugin for Mozilla is working (Joe Kelsey and Fuyuhiko Maruyama). 2. Several bug fixes, including the division by zero problem. 3. An improved native threads subsystem (Bill Huey). 4. Work has begun on the HotSpot VM (Bill Huey and Joe Kelsey). See THANKS and ChangeLog in the patchset for more information. Please test the plugin as extensively as you can! Similarly, please test the native threads subsystem if you are able (recent version of the FreeBSD-STABLE source code required for this). We know of one problem with native threads (try the Java 2D demo for instance) but please report other issues. 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. I recommend people switch to using this version if they want to use a native JDK 1.3.1. Note that I am still in the process of testing the update to FreeBSD's ports/java/jdk13. This should be available sometime tomorrow. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Phone : (801) 796 6999 Information Technology Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
