Re: Java Workshop 3.0: Unfortunately you cannot run Java Workshop 3.0 unless you have a port of JDK1.2 for FreeBSD. I know that a variety of Java 2 Collection classes are used throughout the source code. Because of that, it's likely a number of other 1.2 specific calls are used. Secondly, you would have to modify the JWS 3.0 sources to allow your operating system name to be recognized. Not a big deal, but annoying. The company I work for is a licensee of Java Workshop 3.0. We'd love to add support for FreeBSD, but the missing JDK1.2 is a bit of a problem. Nicholas P.S.
