Ummm yep, that kind of gives it away doesn't it :). Although this is based on the porting efforts over the years, the OpenJDK code changes so far have all been performed by Kurt and Landon, so I'd like to thank them and also Dalibor Topic and Mark Reinhold from Sun for getting this effort going. The work at the moment is against OpenJDK7. There is a reasonable chance there will be some work with regards to OpenJDK6 as well. Feel free to check it out. I wouldn't expect to see it in the ports tree for a while though. Patches are naturally welcome, although to get them back into the main tree you need to agree to the Sun Contributor Agreement. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
