Several questions come to my mind.

- Which version of Java 2 SDK will be released
  in a binary form with FreeBSD 4.5?
  I guess 1.3.1p5, p6 or p7 can be a likely candidate.
  How about Native Threads and HotSpot VMs?

- How is the compatibility test with the JCK progressing?
  The binary being released will have to pass the JCK.
  Is this assumption correct?

We'd appreciate all involved in this present.
