Hmm, I'm having trouble when running Orion (a J2EE application server). It seems to `hang' when deploying .ear files. I don't know in what category this problem would fall, but it keeps me from completely switching from the Blackdown 1.2.2 rc4 to the native FreeBSD JDK. A problem that should be solved in patchset 9 is that Ant can not delete directories. I find that AWT applications are sometimes very slow. The Forte 1.0 CE installer (InstallShield) is *very* slow. It takes ~ 10 seconds to draw the first window. So on one hand the native JDK is not very usable IMHO, but the Linux JDK is in my experience very stable on both 3.4-STABLE and on 4.0-STABLE. So I believe you can make the switch to the FreeBSD operating system, but I recommend you use the Linux JDK for now (in the ports tree). * Orion http://www.orionserver.com/ * Ant http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/ * Forte http://www.sun.com/forte/ Ernst It appears Greg Lewis wrote: > Cliff Rowley wrote: > > We need to run our custom written Java software on it, and need to be > > able to run Servlets / JSP.
