Hello I just installed "Blackdown JDK 1.2.2 RC3" on -current as of 12/11 using linux_base-6.1 port. I also installed the Linux version of JBuilder without any problems, imported a java project I had written and everything worked without any problems. The only thing I had to do with JBuilder was use bash instead of sh on the install scripts. Have fun, Eric Chet On Thu, 9 Dec 1999 patrick@whetstonelogic.com wrote: > I would concur.
