Well, can't answer this question - never had deal with java security on FreeBSD. In case if you're talking about various security/crypto packages for java - yes, I consider java is secure (no known leaks for me). > - which version of Java are you running? java version "1.5.0_11-p5" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_11-p5-root_04_jul_2007_17_12) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_11-p5-root_04_jul_2007_13_39, mixed mode) > - was the installation of Java easy or a pain?

Since we're doing java development, when customers will want to switch to Java6 - it would be critical to have Java6 working on FreeBSD. So I'd love to see Java6 in ports ASAP ;) -- Eugene N Dzhurinsky [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFGsaUZy/i/DoZLbHwRAshfAJ9N1qeHQNHNk1Fq3Q1xE/ZlEKBEHACgpwGl VmvDzv+8oUSVElCHPoe1YPc= =+ZMW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
