hi, there! On Thu, Feb 06, 2003 at 11:47:45PM +0100, Marc van Kempen wrote: > It's almost unbelievable that you didn't research the java project (and > mailing lists) to find out what is going on.

Should they pay something to Greg? He's done tremendous amount of work to make 1.3.1 available on FreeBSD. Or Nate? I do not think that porting 1.1.8 was easy. Or some other developers that contribute to FreeBSD Java Project? If I had spare money that I could spend for such purpose maybe I'd pay Bill. If you have money feel free to send them to Bill. Bill is known to be one of the most active developers of 1.3.1 HotSpot. That's the fact. I highly appreciate his work. But what all you guys are talking about? I'd understand you if it were yours money. But they are not. It is a volunteer project and noone can expect that he will be paid for his job or request the contract if he was not chosen by some investor. /fjoe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
