I am not sure if they have any links to the FreeBSD JVM, but you should be able to get that off of freebsd.org. From the benchmarks I have seen it is the slowest platform to run this stuff on. I think it is due to the way threads are implemented and because there is no JIT compiler. Everything is done in bytecodes. It does work. Linux and Slowaris are better for this type of server side java work. -- Craig Shaver, Productivity Group POB 60458 Sunnyvale, CA 94088 (650)390-0654 http://www.progroup.com/ mailto:craig@progroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
