I'm not aware of anyone who has done that. It should be doable if you have the requisite sparc assembler and C/C++ skills. The main thing you have to do is port the HotSpot JVM. You'll then need to bootstrap the rest of the build somehow, although I'm pretty sure I can help you with that. Let me know if you're interested. I was working on 1.3.1, but am blocked due to lack of sparc assembler clue. 1.4.2 would be better, but it will take quite a bit more work (although some parts will be easier since the code is already 64 bit clean, unlike the 1.3.1 code). -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
