Just wanted to point out that Solaris 2.6 will just be using a shell script 
wrapper to start up Java programs.  There'll be a special tool to create it 
(setting up the CLASSPATH properly, and so forth), but no special Java 
recognition in the kernel AFAIK.

In other words, if this "feature" is difficult to add to FreeBSD, I'd just 
forget about it.  The Linux crowd may think it's neat, but there are certainly 
more important things to work on.
