Seriously, if raising money would push development along, I think that there are many people and/or companies that would contribute. I would think that WC/BSDi could be / should be a major contributor but there are others (like Michael Robinson) who very much want to see FreeBSD as a viable Java development platform. That means 1) running native, and 2) JDK parity with other platforms, 3) revising ports: all ports (like postgresql, etc.) now support JDK1.1.8 by default since that is the official JDK port on FreeBSD. I am running a startup and we are expecting funding in late August/early September. I too, would be willing to contribute some time and $$ to the "JDK1.3 in '00" effort.
