[Steps snipped] I think this is a great idea FWIW. To elaborate on a previous question I had. Lets say we are suddenly able to distribute a binary version of the J2SDK (1.2.2 for arguments sake). Is the jdk12 port then replaced by the binary distribution? Would we then create a src-jdk12 (or somesuch) port in case people want to compile it from source? I ask because a binary version may have some functionality missing (e.g. the DPS libraries) that people may want to make their own decision about and compile in. regards, Greg -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Mobile: 0419 868 494 Information Technology Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
