First off, trying to download the J2EE SDK, they now force you to download the JDK + Sun App server bundle? (Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.1 2005Q1 Release Candidate) Resolving myself to the pain I knew was ahead, I grab the Linux version (sjsas_pe-8_1_2005Q1-linux.bin), which is now a binary instead of a zip. Trying to run this binary results in the lovely FreeBSD not supported message. Checking available disk space... Checking Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment... Extracting Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment files... Extracting installation files... Launching Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment... Platform not supported for media spanning: com.sun.wizards.media.FreebsdMediaSupport Deleting temporary files... Does anyone know how to get this bundle of joy working, or how to aquire just the SDK? I also tried to download the JMS SDK, which of course brought me to the download page for the Sun Java System Message Queue Platform Edition. It seems Suns new vision is to bundle the SDK with the associated Sun product, forcing you to infect your machine. Daren Desjardins
