No. Given that 5.0 is a year away, hitting a moving target at that distance is just letting yourself in for a world of pain. I also suspect that the percentage of BSD Java users running -current is quite small. Basically, anyone running one of the Java server engines (e.g. Tomcat) or doing serious Java application/applet development is more than likely running -stable, so that is what we should be aiming at IMO. > BTW, I'm still working on native threading here, but not too agressively. ;-) > > It seems like the core threading is working fine, but something in the AWT is > triggering some kind of weird SEGV, which I still haven't quite tracked down yet. > It pretty encouraging that condition-variables & mutexes are working pretty nicely > with crashing so far... > > I'm still going to peck on this further. ;-) Cool :). -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Phone : (801) 765 1887 Information Technology Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
