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? > This agreement would not have been possible without the efforts of Nate > Williams.
