I (and the company I work for) have been writing Java programs for quite a while, and there are no restrictions that I'm aware of placed on things that you create using Java. If you write code in Java, the source and compiled files are yours, not Sun's. However, redistributing the JDK (the compiler parts, not the runtime parts) itself comes with some caveats. Nothing to worry about for most people. > 2) Is JSDK all i need to make Applets for using in Web pages? Yes. > 3) Any alternatives to Sun JSDK? IBM makes a Java development kit, also. I don't know if or how well it works under emulation. See www.freebsd.org/java. Lucas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
