I have recently downloaded the 1.3.1 kit + patchset and have the following questions: For native threads, has there been any consideration on the linuxthreads port ? How is "native" threading implemented in the 1.3.1 kit currently ? I'd like to contribute to making the FreeBSD 1.3.1 kit a port as well. Also, what about HotSpot ? Has anyone attempted to port this to any of the BSDs ? I'm looking at other JITs now. The latest TYA doesn't build under the 1.3.1 kit. I'd also like to help in ensuring that java ports can be built across JDKs (where possible). Thanks Tim.
