(However, I'm just guessing.) This will absolutely be the case. In fact, its almost the case now. The 1.3.1 SCSL code base we're using is quite a bit behind the code base used to produce Sun's 1.3.1_02 binaries. We can/will shift to using the more up to date code thanks to the Foundation's license, but this either means that we don't do a source code based port or that the source code based port will be based off the current SCSL code base rather than what the binary ends up being based on. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
