FYI, I have submitted PR ports/39080. It contains some enhancements to the javavmwrapper script which make it more generally useful. These are minor refinements of the patch I sent to the list in April 2001. When invoked as registervm, in addition to recording the full path to the java executable, it creates a series of symbolic links (in $PREFIX/bin -> typically /usr/local/bin) which correspond to similar links in the same directory as the java executable. The end result of all of this is that instead of simply being able to run 'javavm' as a sort of virtual 'java' command, you may run any of the 45 or so utilities provided with the typical JVM using their normal names. So /usr/local/bin/java will run as /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/bin/java if you have built the native 1.3.1 JDK. Likewise javac, jar, rmic etc are all available. Let me know what you think. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=39080 Shelton C.
