I have the latest, I can see why I was fooled, because the port's instructions to me (when it failed to build, wanting me to do a lot oof downloading) was to download a huge Sun tarball, but I see from reading the makefile that it's just there so that the BSD native one can be built (requiring Java to build Java seems to me to be confirmation of insanity). The URL given in the port isn't any good, but I got a hint a little while ago on this list about a URL for downloading a binary for it. I only need one question answered before I download it, and that's if the version will work in FreeBSD-8.0-current (remember that they changed the threading algorithm a small count of months ago), I need to know if it will work for my system. OR if I could fake it out with the Blackdown port somehow, if I can't use the FreeBSD Java binaries. > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIIy9Cz62J6PPcoOkRAnVGAJwNtpOZ41i18fQq7QI95aifthJdAwCcDHy6 OxVR6lAZKZM5/cPaNt3MzOg= =B17P -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
