Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-java@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I have enough of Java2 ported to allow the FreeBSD port to "bootstrap" itself. This is probably only of real interest to those of you that are, will, or want to be involved in the porting process. See http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~kwhite/java2/ for directions on how to patch a JDK1.2 source tree; and to get the minimal set of classes, libraries, and binaries you need for the bootstrap. Even though the JVM works, this minimal set will is useless to someone just wanting to get early access to Java2 for FreeBSD. Work on the libraries that make Java2 "interesting" hasn't even begun yet... ...keith -- Keith White, EITI/SITE, University of Ottawa kwhite@site.uottawa.ca [+1 613 562 5800 x6681] FAX [+1 613 562 5187] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
