FWIW, there should be an announcement about Java/FreeBSD in the next couple of days coming out of JavaOne. It *just* came about, and I'm not allowed to say what exactly, but I think you'll be happily suprised. (And, if we're lucky, the promises in the annoucement may actually come true. :) :) :) However, that's not to say that we (the FreeBSD developmers) wouldn't also stand to gain something by partnering with Apple. Blackdown works with Sun, and IBM make their own JDK offering, so working with Apple might give us another Java option on FreeBSD.
