Hi Niall, I have been doing a fair amount Java server development (i.e. not GUI) on FBSD... >I'm just wondering which JDK people are using? As far as I am aware I >have four choices: > > - use the 1.1.3 port from > > http://www.csi.uottawa.ca/~kwhite/jdkbinaries/jdk1.1-FreeBSD.html I have been meaning to try this, but ... > - use the Linux port in emulation mode This has been working so well for me that I have never found the time to try the native port. So far, the only problem I had was a JDBC driver that didn't work. I wouldn't let the warning about JDB not working in the native port deter you; JDB has proven so slow that its not worth the trouble on every platform I have tried it on. > - use Kaffe I have found Kaffe is not yet solid enough for doing a lot of development. It looks promissing though, it should get there. Mark
