Well, maybe there is a FreeBSD/Java2 initiative, isn't there? Maybe that project should get more attention from FreeBSD developers like us. They could probably need a hand. Or maybe we can build on the work Blackdown/Sun/Inprise provided for Linux. Then there's always Kaffe, and Classpath. Maybe some teams could join forces, and maybe some of us have some spare time to invest in a FreeBSD/Java2 initiative? :) Ernst -- Ernst de Haan Freelance Java Architect "Come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" -- Jesus Christ --------------405710F2B0AC57EC2EDD214B Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=us-ascii; name="ernst.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for Ernst de Haan Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="ernst.vcf" begin:vcard n:de Haan;Ernst tel;fax:+31 (0)26 3645634 tel;work:+31 (0)26 3623895 x-mozilla-html:FALSE url:http://www.znerd.demon.nl/ org:Jollem adr:;;Rozendaalselaan 35;Velp;GLD;6881 KZ;Netherlands version:2.1 email;internet:ernst@jollem.com title:Java Architect fn:Ernst de Haan end:vcard --------------405710F2B0AC57EC2EDD214B-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
