Who knows. Just cd /usr/ports/java/jfc make extract then try building jdk1.2.2 again. <rant> JFC seems to suck quite hard. 13Mb download I had to sit and watch over in lynx, (haven't had to do that since I walked out on The Penguin) and then I can't even run the bleeding examples: "class SwingSet not found" (this *after* java -v clearly says 'loaded SwingSet from SwingSet.jar') [OK, probably PEBKAC, but this was a default install. Every other (C/Perl)-based port I use behaves itself] And all because of Sun's licensing. Gaah. Jserv is quite nice though. Maybe you should try the IBM 1.3JDK for Linux through the linuxulator; it kicks Sun's ass. Although 30Mb is getting ridiculous. -- Rasputin Jack of All Trades :: Master of Nuns To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
