I've explained this before. I, and anyone who would be working for me, are legally prohibited from even possessing Sun's Java source code, because we aren't residents of a country on Sun's "approved countries" list. Not only does this mean I'm not in a position to work on a native FreeBSD port, this also means that any native FreeBSD port that has to be built from source is useless to me. Since the project is not able to employ the only contribution I'm able to provide (to wit, financial), I'm left passively waiting for either a reliable Linux distribution or a reliable FreeBSD Java. Whichever comes first. -Michael Robinson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
