I know the System.exit() bug is the big holdup -- it's the only thing keeping me from using it. Is the issue a lack of available man-hours (I may be able to help), or is there some other business/political issue? I'd hate to have to add a Linux box to my all-FreeBSD network just to run Java (HotSpot on FreeBSD seems a bit unstable at the moment). However, considering the fact that a P5-200 with Linux runs Java over 16x faster than an Athlon 1 GHz with FreeBSD, I just may. Any help I can offer in this area I will provide gladly if it means keeping with FreeBSD. -- Milo Hyson CyberLife Labs To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
