It wouldn't help us much, because most of the native Java efforts (the
porting side) are focused on the threading model in the Mach
micro-kernel, and they use very little 'FreeBSD' code in their port.
(Or so I've heard from people 'in the know'....)

Apple's Java port is more 'Mach-centric' rather than FreeBSD-centric.
