[ Sorry for the delay on this patchset folks, there was quite a bit of work involved for this one though, as you can read below. ] This is a new set of PRE-ALPHA source code patches for the JDK 1.2.2 source. These patches are unofficial and no abuse should be directed towards the FreeBSD java porting team for them :). This new set (patchset 6) can be gotten from http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsd-jdk122-patches-6.tar.gz (this message is included in the tar ball as the file ANNOUNCEMENT). Note that the latest version of the patchset can always be gotten from http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsd-jdk122-patches-latest.tar.gz Please read the file THANKS for a list of the large number of people who should be thanked that things have gotten this far! Most of the many improvements in this patchset are due to a merge with the code in the FreeBSD java porting team's repository. The following ISSUES have been addressed since patchset 5 (see the ISSUES files for more details). Issue 2. USE_SELECT is chosen automatically for FreeBSD 2.2.x. Also, the code for a.out support which had previously been taken out is again included. Issue 5. People will no longer get the annoying message about the Sun JIT compiler not being loaded as the default JIT compiler is now NONE. Issue 6. The build is now using a version of font.properties that is very close to the one for the Blackdown Linux JDK 1.2.2 port. However, I've included Robert Swindells' version of font.properties in the patchset for those who prefer it :). Issue 8e. The internal compiler error that was produced by some of the code in libhprof when compiling with gcc 2.7.2.3 has been worked around. Issue 12. The problem with Math.rint() has been fixed. Issue 13. The Debug Graphics pane in SwingSet now works. Issue 16. I've had no problems running some threaded applications. Additional problems that hadn't made it to the ISSUES list that have been addressed in this patchset (both thanks to Timo Geusch): 1. The JDK will now build under FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT. 2. The "release-images" target can now be built (see the file BUILD-RELEASE). This is quite significant as it allows people to build a JDK in a releaseable form (i.e. as per the downloadable binaries for Solaris and Linux) that can then be installed and used normally. For more information about the port, consult Kees Jan Koster's web pages at http://web.inter.nl.net/users/kjkoster/java/index.html Please test as much as possible! -- 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
