I'm looking over the sources here a little (I shouldn't, but I couldn't help myself) and it looks like it's going to be a bit of a bear. It uses threads pretty aggressively, manipulating thread stack spaces and juggling their internal priorities in addition to all the usual create/destroy/block thread ops. I haven't looked at pthreads lately, but I'd say it'll have to be fairly capable to deal with the demands made on it by Hot Java. I also don't know whether or not Java assumes your libc to be thread safe, but I rather expect that it does. Anyone interested in forming a Java interest group to discuss the porting of this to FreeBSD? I think it's going to be a post-2.1 project, and something of a long one at that. It would make sense to combine effort. Jordan
