(However, I'm just guessing.) To clear things up, when I saw 'we' above, I mean the FreeBSD users. I've very little influence on how the java-porters do their job anymore, as I've not done anything technical in years. In no way am I implying that they will get access to technology, let alone port this newer JDK technology to FreeBSD.
