Hi all,

Patchset 4 for JDK 1.3.1 is up on the web site.  The main highlights are:

1. The browser plugin now compiles (collaboration with Joe Kelsey).
2. JITs can now be used (Fuyuhiko Maruyama).
3. Fixed the connect() bug (Fuyuhiko Maruyama).
4. Lots of improvements to the AWT library (Fuyuhiko Maruyama).
5. Fixed a problem with the JPDA native libraries (Bill Huey).

See THANKS and BUILD in the patchset for more information.

If you are a Chinese, Japanese or Korean user you should also apply 
the Open Motif patch from http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=30421
and rebuild Open Motif before building the JDK.  This prevents a potential
memory fault when using XIM.  The patch will become unnecessary on FreeBSD 
once the Open Motif port has been updated.

I recommend people switch to using this version if they want to use a
native JDK 1.3.1.

I've sent in an update for the FreeBSD JDK 1.3.1 port.  The impatient can 
find it at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=30481
