Well, that's incorrect since the Linux environment is the most similar to FreeBSD because of the GCC compiler and the development tool chain. The solaris build environment has a numerous tweeks that need to be dealt with and it's a not a good track to follow because of this. > Also, there has been no discussion of what exactly you are doing in the > code base.

Uh, this is one of those cases where it's probably easier to code and commit then it is to explain. Then some kind of draft will be available for review. I'm not trying to be difficult as much as I'd like to keep doing what I'm doing without external interference. If you have a specific question about the code tree we can talk about it on a more private list. > /Joe bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
