Well, certainly many people will be excited to see more progress happening in the freebsd-java world. I just hope that when you're done, you won't be hit by a lot of requests for things which would have been easier to handle now. Me, I really *am* happy to see things happening on the java front, so I don't want to sound like I'm complaining about anything. It's just that I also suspect it would be better to hear a bit more about what you hope to do before you have spent the effort to do it. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
