Actually, there *is* a JDK1.1 port available for FreeBSD, but not a latter port. However, diffs to JDK1.1.2 were just made available, see the freebsd-java mailing list. > If not, > I might volunteer to do one.

However, the Linux port may work much better now due to recent bugfixes in the Linuxulator. :) > - Any others that are interested in joining this effort?

I'm currently building a JDK1.1.2 port using the patches posted about in the java mailing list, but it won't be distributable due to Motif licensing. I hope to somehow fix that, but it just depends on the weather. If it's snows a whole bunch then I'll be outside playing it, but if the weather is as yucky as it is now over Christmas (40 degrees and brown) then I'll probably spend more time inside. :( Nate
