Here's an authoratative response (which isn't saying much). The chance of a FreeBSD JDK1.2 coming before the Blackdown diffs are released is small to none. They have done a bunch of work that we would benefit from, and we're just finishing up the last bits of JDK1.1.8. > >From my limited experience with 1.2 on Solaris, it's not fit for > release. JDK1.2 is unfit for real use on *all* platforms IMO, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have it for developers.
