Not that anybody would usually want to use native threads without hotspot, but just for the records I was unsuccessful to use *ANY* native threads Linux JVM with FreeBSD. The case that hurt me most was that special Linux JVM that comes bundled with the ORACLE 8.1.x installer. It aborts on FreeBSD and the ORACLE Installer solidly refuses to run with any other JVM out there. They have serialized JAVA objects in their archive, and that can only be deserialized with their own JVM :( So, if somone could take on the task of fixing the Linux threads emulation, I'd gratefully buy him or her a beer. Or even two. -- Regards, Georg. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
