There isn't a specific example of what's troubling me because I haven't even installed FreeBSD yet. One of my concerns has been the time difference between when the JDK is ready on NT / Solaris and when it's ready on the free OS's as well as what "ready" means. I'm currently developing on JDK 1.2 although so far I haven't written anything that can't be run with JDK 1.1.6 and the Swing classes, so hopefully I can find some time in the next week, or so, to install FreeBSD & Java and test my app. Maybe I can help out with beta testing upcoming JDK's if things go well. Thanks again for all the responses I received so quickly. Brian Adkins To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
