At this time, everyone is free to download the patches and build his own JDK after signing the SCSL. Even without a binary distribution option, we can make a killer port out of this baby. Nate Williams just made a unofficial, off-the-record, speculative pre-announcement on freebsd-java. Basically he says that at JavaOne there should be a happy surprise for Java/FreeBSD people. Don't get your hopes up too high, because we've had empty promises before. On the other hand, I trust Nate to be careful with this kind of stuff. ;-) Kees Jan ============================================== Everyone is responsible for his own actions, and (people tend to forget this) the effect they have on others.
