Readers of this thread should note that the possibility of a port of
TowerJ to FreeBSD in the intermediate future (i.e., 2nd quarter) is
looking good at the moment. We are talking to several potential ISV
partners and closing a deal with 1 more should trigger the port.
A few points regarding statements in this thread:
1) TowerJ can be used for servlets -- that works today by compiling
the servlet into your servlet engine or server app. TowerJ 3.0
(in external Beta) adds support for true dynamic loading as well.
2) One Tower customer is using Linux emulation to allow a TowerJ
compiled application to run on FreeBSD today. (I understand
why that option is considered distasteful to most readers of this
list, but I thought that I should offer it up anyway.)
3) We still don't directly support GUI. Indirect support for AWT
comes via IBM's RemoteAWT and we are looking at several other
alternatives as well, but GUI is not a high priority.
