hi there,
May I state a point of using FreeBSD x86/x64 for to be used in java
development.
1) that Sun's JDK source be available for use in FreeBSD x86/x64,
Many thanks to Greg Lewis and the team to make things work.
2) Diablo-j[??]15 is a [semi-]formal support of Sun's Jave support via
FreeBSD foundation
It parallels to the MS-win/Linux support on Sun Java stream.
In case you have any problems of using the ports/pkgs, please try the
following:
a) Get a stable system to have the system installed (at best, Single
Processor one)
b) Install the required packages such as xorg-6.9.0, open-motif, etc, from
source
(and turn on the -g debugflag if your're good at gdb)
c) fetch the SCSL or any formal Licenced source code from Sun Micro, Inc and
compile
the jdk by either using the Linux-jdk or your previously freebsd-based
jdk(1.4+)
d) test your problematic 'jdk-specific' issues and see if problems occur
again.
Be frank, I hate to see noises from using only pkg_add way
of packages and claim an PR. you, the administrator of your system,
is responsible to make it well-behave as it should.
Please leave the developers in more platform support, such as sparc64, ia64,
alpha,
etc. and better java-plugin, jws support and so on.
Best wishes,
Clarence CHU
