There is this: /usr/ports/java/icedtea6-stubs Looks promising anyways. There is also this work around. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-java/2010-February/008535.html Java seems more pervasive than ever in the web enviro at least for sys admin type stuff. Today I used it to access a Proxmox install, a Lantronics spider kvm over IP, and my girlfriend's child had a homework assignment on a java web app that was broken due to a recent update to her XP's java runtime. You can say all you want Java is dead, dying, and/or irrelevant. I wish you were right, unfortunately that's not the world many of us live in. -- Adam Vande More
