Well, not if I'm involved. I've been actively trying to build the
RC1 1.3.1 release of the JDK a couple of days ago on FreeBSD -current, but
ran into some linker problems with the entry function for the bytecode machine.
(ExecuteJava)

My current technical track is:

1) Get all the initial JDK porting issues worked out on BSD/OS since I've
	folks that work with to resolve compiler tool chains & shared
	library issues.

2) Take this knowledge and integrate it into the FreeBSD build.

That's the plan.
