The main issue with patchset 9 was the i18n business which has hopefully been sorted out with major help from the Japanese FreeBSD Java users (arigato!). This will naturally appear in patchset 10 as will some work on fixing up the Java Sound implementation from Rob Furphy. I agree that a source code based port would be useful at this point (see my previous posting). -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 5083 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
