Java on FreeBSD-folks,


I intend to write an article on why and when Java on FreeBSD is a  
good choice. I'd love to get insights from you guys (and girls?).

So:
- why do you run Java on FreeBSD (instead of Solaris or Linux)?
- do you consider Java on FreeBSD fast?
- do you consider it stable/reliable?
- do you consider it secure?
- which version of Java are you running?
- was the installation of Java easy or a pain? (or somewhere in  
between?)
- how important is Java 1.6 for you?

Cheers,


Ernst
