Some good news for a change.... On August 7th, 2000, the FreeBSD JDK team was given access to Sun's JCK (Java Compatability Kit), which will allow us to test and (hopefully!) release a binary version using the current set of patches. Unfortunately, we are unable (for legal reasons) to distribute a JDK that hasn't been run against the JCK like we were able to with the JDK1.1.* releases. Unfortunately, as told by Sun (we have no experience *yet*), running the JCK against the port is a difficult and time-consuming process. Hopefully it won't take us the 3 months that Sun expects it to take. :( Finally, there are still some issues regarding Motif that need to be resolved before a full public release can be made. Sun is working on that front, and we need to try contacting the OpenGroup to see if we can get a special exception for Motif binary distributions to use in the JDK release. - The FreeBSD JDK team To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
