I have been interested in SableVM for a while, and used it long ago, but it hasn't worked on my amd64 machine, ever. I'm keen to try it. Is it still being developed or maintained? For a while the main web site wasn't available, and there was some talk about it merging into the Apache JVM project, but I don't know what's happened, there. > Hereby I like to announce that SableVM works quite nice on i386 and amd64 > now and I would like to receive some feedback.

I've just submitted a PR about it: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=120959 Thoughts? Cheers, -- Andrew
