Notionally you could get the JNI stuff working with the Linux version of gcc in the linux-devel port yeah?

In fact, JNI is the biggest single reason that motivated me :). -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 5083 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
