There's no native 1.4 port of the J2SE, but I'm the processing of testing HotSpot now which should lay the ground work for the port when it's attempted. I'm getting crashes in the threading system and I'm trying to track that down right now. I have already fixed a thread local storage bug already. Hopefully, this process will yield something useable soon without me sifting through a lot of oscure bugs. ;-) bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
