All,

The first experimental patchset for JDK 1.5 is available.

http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsddom/java/jdk15.html

Please only try this out if you're pretty comfortable with compiling
large, complex programmes yourself and want to help with testing.

Note there is no plugin or javaws support in this patchset.

Alexey has tested 5.3 quite well (i386 and amd64).  My initial tests on
4.10 showed some problems with graphical applications crashing.

The plan is to follow this up with patchset 1 next week, so all problem
reports are appreciated.

Also, a big thanks to Alexey for all his work getting this going.
