The main highlights are: 1. A number of bug fixes (most of these had previously been included in the FreeBSD port). 2. Out of the box NetBSD support. 3. The HotSpot VM has reached alpha status. See THANKS and ChangeLog in the patchset for more information. The requirements and method for building HotSpot is not yet documented and the update to the FreeBSD port doesn't feature support for building HotSpot as yet. This is currently for the adventurous who understand what they are doing. If you are a Chinese, Japanese or Korean user you should still also apply the Open Motif patch from http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=30421 and rebuild Open Motif before building the JDK. This prevents a potential memory fault when using XIM. The patch will become unnecessary on your platform once the Open Motif port/package has been updated. An update for the FreeBSD port/java/jdk13 port will be committed shortly. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
