I see that you can run JDK with Linux port installed. Is is like a subsystem under free bsd? Will there be any performance. Reading bits and pieces I find that to get this going you will have to download the SDK and compile etc. I also read the news flash from Dec 2001 that the license from Sun is thru. When can one see FreeBSD port of JDK 1.2 or higher like the one under ports for jdk 1.1.8 Thanks Bharath (A free bsd newbie ) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
