Wow, I wasn't aware that Sun started releasing source updates for 1.5. Very cool. :-) I noticed your patch didn't include any changes to the bsd directories in the port. There are a bunch of directories that have bsd in their name. These dirs started out as copies of the corresponding solaris ones. Your patch has the shared dirs at update 5 level but the bsd dirs are at initial release still. To bring the jdk15 port fully up to update 5 level you will need to do a diff on the solaris changes since the initial release and then apply them to the bsd versions. A 'find . -name *bsd* -type d' should find the top level bsd dirs you need to look at. -Kurt
