Hi Thomas, As Panagiotis Astithas pointed out, there already is a JDK 1.3 available on FreeBSD. It's available as a port. First make sure your ports tree is up to date. You can use CVSup for this. If you don't know how to do that, let me know and I'll give you some simple instructions. After that, download the Linux JDK version 1.3.0 from the following location: * http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download-linux.html Move the file to /usr/ports/distfiles (as root): # mv j2sdk-1_3_0-linux.bin /usr/ports/distfiles/ Then execute as root: # cd /usr/ports/java/linux-jdk13 # make install You now have an installed Sun Linux JDK 1.3.0. But it will probably freeze since HotSpot doesn't really like the Linuxulator. So you should modify the jvm.cfg file. This is what it will contain after you downloaded it: # cat /usr/local/linux-jdk1.3.0/jre/lib/jvm.cfg | tail -4 -client -hotspot -server -classic Move the -classic option to the top: -classic -client -hotspot -server When you try to run the JDK, you should set JAVA_HOME to /usr/local/linux-jdk1.3.0. And perhaps, when executing Java programs, you may want to increase the initial heap size from 1 MB to 2 MB using the following command: $ java -Xms2048K <arguments> And check out the following page: * http://www.kjkoster.org/java/ Good luck, Ernst Thomas Runge wrote: > > As I have a huge demand on Java 1.3 on FreeBSD, I tried the latest > sun jdk for Linux using our linuxulator. > I patched .java_wrapper as stated in some mails.
