Since the latest 1.3 JDK beta mostly runs already on BSD, with dramatically improved HotSpot performance, it seems silly to keep on slugging through alpha releases of nearly-obsolete technology. Furthermore, any improvements to Linux emulation benefit not only Java users, but users of all the other binary-only software packages being released for Linux. -Michael Robinson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
