I absolutely agree. In fact, I have seen wretched behavior from ALL Java=20
applications on FreeBSD....this included using native JDK 1.3.1 and the=20
Linux-Sun port of 1.4.1. For example:

JEdit will just not run....the JVM chokes after a few moments of executio=
n.=20

Eclipse (the IDE) just will not work with any sort of regularity....

Forte dies after a few moments of execution with the same type of errors =
as=20
JEdit.=20

Basically ANYTHING with a GUI does not work....
