My company has used and recommended that our customers use FreeBSD as their operating system. We sell a product/service that makes it easy for customers to manage their web content. We recently embarked on a project to use Java as the basis of our underlying technology. After a lot of analysis we concluded that the only way to stay on the technology curve was to use Java 2 (jdk1.2.x) as our code base. There are Java 2 runtime implementations for the other platforms we support, Solaris, Windows NT, Linux. However we have heard nothing about Java 2 runtimes for FreeBSD. We like the stability of FreeBSD and the networking support, but see the lack of Java 2 support as a significant drawback. I would like to talk to someone on the FreeBSD Java team about this subject. Depending on the challenges facing your team we may be able to contribute to the effort. Please reply to the address below.
