Just as a data point, you'll get HotSpot errors with 6 _or_ 7. HotSpot doesn't work that happily with FreeBSD 's Linux emulation. If you want something that works, try one of the Linux 1.3.1 JDK ports and use the plugin library from that (e.g. java/linux-sun-jdk13). Don't use the Linux 1.4 JDK ports as they only have HotSpot. The Linux 1.3.1 JDK port turns HotSpot off as the default so its actually got some chance of working sensibly. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
