Please do have a look at www.freebsd.org/ports/java.html You will find all sorts of java development-kits and applications that are supported by freebsd. Especially the linux-jdk's run very stable. If you prefer free java implementations, have a look at kaffe or guavac. I haven't tried gcj - as part of the gnu-compiler-collection gcc - yet. The only disadvantage of freebsd as a java-platform seems to me, that netscape-communicator-4.78 is the latest browser that can display java-applets. But perhaps one day someone will look after this. Have fun! Uli. ************************************ * P. U.
