I've been playing with TYA. It is pretty good from what I can tell from using it, but it is GPL'd so I haven't dug into the code and tried to fix the few problems that I've found so far. # Doesn't the Java 2 platform include Symantec's JIT?

Yes the Sun implementation has it (and Blackdown's too I think) but the source is not publically available, so our port won't come with it. :( To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
