No, it's bigger/buggier/more featureful, and although it has backwards compatability it's *huge* compared to JDK1.0. They call it progress, but as you point out above upgrading to a newer version must be justified. In short, it's not FreeBSD's problem. ;( Nate ps. If you want an old JDK1.0 version, Jeff Hsu's port should still be available for JDK1.0 somewhere. It's a pretty lean JDK.
