Prior to the release of Java 7 the plan is to have two things done: 1. Have the BSD port integrated into the main OpenJDK trunk. 2. Have all of the "binary plug" issues resolved so they aren't needed. If those two happen I would expect that FreeBSD users would generally run OpenJDK 7. > a matrix of some kind i think it would be a good idea, > and some kind of cooperation between SUN and the FreeBSD foundation > which was the main body (alongside with Greg) behind any BSD java effort todate, > would be good as well. The FreeBSD Foundation has signed the Sub Contributor Agreement and graciously allowed any work done for them under contract to be merged into OpenJDK. > correct me if i am wrong pls. > > -- > Achilleas Mantzios > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-java@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-java > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-java-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
