I said that Java support on FreeBSD is dodgy, which is really a well-known public fact, for anyone that's ever done any reading on the subject. In fact, when the core developers give a public interview, this is frequently a topic of discussion. Perhaps you should try working with Java 1.4.x on FreeBSD before you assume something about me that's highly inaccurate. I think you'll find very quickly that it doesn't work nicely unless the process is running as root. -- Adam
