The last call for volunteers netted alot of people, with only 3-4 actually doing something, and of those only 2 remain that actually actively work on the port. > kaffe, egcs/java , garbage collection, TowerJ, Microsoft's Java VM , > java world's benchmark , areas where our JDK needs improvement. None of these are related to the JDK. We need people willing to fix bugs and/or port the stock JDK code. None of the above do *anything* for us w/out a decent working JDK. > For any Java VM hacker Bill Venners's Inside the Java Virtual Machine book > is highly recommended. We don't need VM tuners, we need VM porters. Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
