+From the README.dap in ftp://hub.freebsd.org/pub/dap/jdk115:

jdk115b2.tar.gz finally fixes the kluge in the platform interface which
required busy-wait polling of active file descriptors.

This version, reported by `java -version' is:
	java version "jdk1.1-dap:1998/01/07-05:19"

This version corresponds to the patch kit, released this morning, as it was
built by applying the patch kit to a fresh tree.  The patch kit is found in
patch-kit.tar.gz.

There are several known bugs, and many unknown ones.

1.  Certain Java applications can cause the X-Server to consume all the
    paging space in the system and die.  If using one of the following
    window managers, this problem is ameliorated:
	mwm
	afterstep
	<none>

2.  Various SEGV and ABORT traps due to incompatabilities between Motif and
    lesstif.

3.  The molecule viewer demo apps have stopped working.

4.  Window manager interactions vis-a-vis initial window placement is ad-hoc,
    and the hacks made to get it to work with fvwm usually work, but
    occasionally, a window is placed on the screen, but subsequently jumps.


Enjoy!
