I would like to thank all involved for making the effort. I've been using FreeBSD as my primary system for close to 9 years now, and having a current, reliable java is very useful to me. I'd like to draw special attention to the recent effort to port over IcedTea's java browser plugin. I need a plugin for two reasons: webchats and administering Cisco products. Both are working flawlessly for me with IcedTea. Quick question: has anyone noticed odd behaviour with java text entry boxes and the intel xserver? In my webchats on my Intel graphics boxes I can't see what I'm typing, but on my nvidia box at home there's no such problem. Thanks again! DMK
