I don't use it much though, since I have only 64 Megs of RAM on my main system and JBuilder needs that much just for breakfast... About a native FreeBSD port though, I think that only the fact that a major software firm like Inprise, should support java on FreeBSD, would make Sun change its priorities on the subject. It may well have more impact to Sun, than our numerous requests for a port. -past To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
