Is it available now as "alpha" or "beta?" When some issues have been resolved and the porting team is happy with the result. Check the FreeBSD java pages . If you want more details, check the archives for this mailing list. The unofficial pre-alpha port is available as a set of patches against the JDK 1.2.2 source code available from Sun. You are welcome to try these out. Kees Jan Koster has kindly provided some web pages regarding these patches at . I'd personally wait a couple days for the next patch set though :). -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 5083 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
