Java heads, and especially Archie: Recently, Archie Cobbs of Whistle posted his BSD-styled whistle.java.mk which could be the starting point for a future bsd.java.mk. I've been working on it a bit by adding support for RMI and JAR files, but I'm starting to think it isn't the right way to go. Java is a cross-platform language. Instead of developing BSD-specific make definitions, maybe it'd be better to do something that's also cross-platform: GNU make, for example. I realize that you can build on BSD and just distribute your classes/jars to anyone at that point, but it'd be really nice to build anywhere and distribute to anyone. I encountered this myself when doing some compiler performance comparisons with Microsoft's command-line JVC. I had GNU make on the Windows host, but naturally, the Makefiles didn't work since they relied on BSD make. Thoughts? --Sean
