I've just installed the native j2ee_sdk that lives in /usr/ports/java/jdk13, seemingly without problems. I had to have the linux-jdk13 port installed first, which wasn't expressed as a package dependancy, but wasn't hard to fix, either. I'm a little disappointed that it didn't actually solve the problem that I wanted solved: Java in a native web browser. I had hoped that the build process for either mozilla or galeon would have noticed the working jvm and done something to make use of it. Sadly, that doesn't seem to be the case. Has anyone managed to get mozilla's own jvm, "electric fire" to do anything useful? Can the j2ee sdk (jdk13) be used to run applets, even in stand-alone mode? I want to do GUIs, rather than server-side database applications. -- Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
