It's slow and I'm not particularly confident of how well it works on SMP. But if you're feeling adventurous and have FreeBSD/sparc64 8.0 and a yen to use Java then you might be interested in trying it out. http://people.freebsd.org/~glewis/openjdk7-freebsd-8.0-sparc64.tar.gz Note that this isn't a package, its just a tarball based on the BSD port of OpenJDK 7. If you were particuarly keen you could install Mercurial with the forest extension, hg fclone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/bsd-port/bsd-port/ and see if you could use it as a bootstrap to port HotSpot so it was faster. Sorry, I don't think I have the bandwidth to get this going on 7.x right now. If you'd like to I can outline roughly what I did. There will eventually be an openjdk7 port that will make this easier. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
