What is the importance of getting a JIT under a BSD-license? While it would be nice, it doesn't seem to have any real impact on the usability of Java on FreeBSD for developing commercial applications. >Comments/suggestions/code? Instead of writing yet another JIT, pick the `best' one and help test and improve it. Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
