Try out: ftp://hub.freebsd.org/pub/incoming/java/jdk1.1.5.tar.gz. Hopefully all of your gripes are fixed. I want to make a more 'official' release, but 've been swamped at work. If I can get someone to build a WWW page for the java stuff that we can install on freefall, it would certainly make my life easier. If interested, *PLEASE* send me email. Nate
