Did anybody try this? I haven't tried it, but I have definitely cribbed work from the Linux sources. The problem is, as you can tell, they've only recently been released, so up until mid March one had to port against the Solaris sources. That said, people have long thought that the Linux sources may be a better porting base -- so it might be worth having a go at if someone has the time. -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 5083 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
