You point it to the java executeable manually. I've tried 1.1.8 and 1.3.1 JDK's, but both of them perform poorly on the java test sites. A lot of apps don't run at all. Are these incomplete JDK's? You sound like you are up on this. As was mentioned, there doesn't seem to be much on the web, etc about this. -Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
