And can we expect a package in the future? The state is that noone has been able to devote the time and equipment to running the newer JDKs through the test suites which is a prerequisite for releasing a binary. Once someone has the time and equipment to do so a new binary package will be released. > btw, how much does certification cost, and does it have to be payed > every update release? Sun were generous enough to not require a fee, since the FreeBSD Foundation is a non-profit. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
