BTW: I just tested the Shared Source CLI (Rotor) from Microsoft, it compiles, and the basic examples do actually work. As Sun has never made things easy for Java developers under FreeBSD, I guess they might learn something from what MS is doing. Here is some useful information: http://www.microsoft.com/partner/products/microsoftnet/SharedSourceCsharpCLIFAQ.asp http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2002/03/27/archtour.html http://msdn.microsoft.com/net/sscli Of course I prefer Java but... this might be an alternative worth considering.
