For Java 1.5, we just downloaded the latest package from http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml. As to Tomcat 5.5 we just used the ports package (the www/tomcat55 package in /usr/ports). We've never used Java on Linux compat in production, as we found the packages provided by the FreeBSD Foundation to be good enough. Hope that helps. cheers, CP Gordon Smith wrote: > Now that FreeBSD 6.2 is out, can anyone recommend specific releases of > JVM and Tomcat that deliver a really stable and fast (emphasizing > stable) J2EE platform on 6.2?
