I don't think that we have any specific schedule. And I can't talk on behalf of Foundation, but can share recent progress with my work (i.e. porting of jdk1.4.x) In last weeks (followed -p4 release) I have complete with JDK 1.4.2 port. It's now in BSD/Java CVS and soon we'll have new patchset released. I also spent fair amount of time on catching bugs inherited from 1.4.1 port as well as ones added with new java sources. Most of stopers are resolved now, many IPv6 issues detected and worked around or wrapped with exceptions. Trouble areas now are Audio support, mozilla plugin and javaws. There's also issues with FreeBSD-5 support, but I am working on this. PS: According to binary release of JDK1.4.2 -- we are almost there. I have finished with JCK tests this weekend (for -STABLE based jdk build), so it's up to Foundation to rehash legal issues with Sun now.
