FWIW, a static JDK blew up under a BSDi 2.X box with a syscall problem. Something with the timing if I remember right. > How is Kaffe vs the JRE from the JDK? No idea, I use an OS that runs the JDK, and encourage people to use an OS that has support for the JDK. :) > So BSDI has no native JDK/JRE? That is surprising. Whine at them. If a volunteer project can do it, certainly a commercial product should be able to do it, especially given that the patches for FreeBSD are available.
