Mike Branch: | is there a chance that a java compiler will appear in |the near future for FreeBSD? Try this out. It's been working fine for me. It includes a working appletviewer: From: Jeffrey Hsu <hsu@FreeBSD.org> Subject: JDK 1.0.2 for FreeBSD Announcement ------------ A native FreeBSD binary distribution of the JDK 1.0.2 is now available from freefall.FreeBSD.org:/pub/FreeBSD/LOCAL_PORTS/jdk102.tar.gz This port contains the java interpreter, compiler, and appletviewer. This is a completely unsupported distribution. Installation ------------ 1. Grab freefall.FreeBSD.org:/pub/FreeBSD/LOCAL_PORTS/jdk102.tar.gz. 2. Create a directory and untar the FreeBSD distribution in there. 3. Install the pdksh port. Running the JDK --------------- If your JDK directory is rooted at <jdk>, you need to set 1. your path to include the <jdk>/bin directory 2. CLASSPATH environment variable to .:<jdk>/classes 3. LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include <jdk>/lib/i386 To compile a java program, invoke 'javac program.java'. To run it, use 'java <name of main class>'. Answers to Common Questions --------------------------- Q: Do I need Motif? A: No. Q: Which version of FreeBSD does this work on? A: I run the current version of FreeBSD, so that's the only version which I've verified. Q: It doesn't work on my machine. What do I do? A: You are out of luck. This is a completely unsupported distribution. Randall Hopper rhh@ct.picker.com
