I'd contribute directly to the project if I knew how, but, as it stands the best you can expect from me are bug reports when I find them. But rest assured there are a lot of us out here trying to run FreeBSD as a good Java platform, and we're actually doing it in production scenarios, despite the gap between BSD and Linux in this regard. But without HotSpot we can't scale as cheaply.
