So, do you have any say in what goes in w/regard to JDK, or can you help us (the FreeBSD folks) build a recent/working JDK for FreeBSD? Assuming we get a port working, would it be possible for you to run it through the 'checks' that Sun has to verify that it works, as well as work with us in finding this sort of information? The Linux folks have an advocate internally, and it would sure be nice to get some FreeBSD support at Sun. :) Nate
