Hi all,

I am still compiling the /usr/port/java/jdk14/, which I think is the =
native Java implementation. But as I see the compiling going on, I read =
a couple of lines saying that they are going to turn on linux binary =
compatibility.

My question is: did they turn it on just for the purpose of the =
compilation, or is jdk14/ not a real native implementation?

Anyway, I also read from www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml:

The FreeBSD Foundation has negotiated a license with Sun Microsystems to =
distribute FreeBSD binaries for the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and =
Java Development Kit (JDK). These implementations have been made =
possible through the hard work of the BSD Java team, and contributors =
(particularly WorldGate Communications, Inc.) as well as through =
donations to the FreeBSD Foundation that supported hardware, developer =
time, testing resources, and license negotiation.

Looks like getting Java is going to get easier. Yeah!
