Just like Sheldon said, the native JDK _is_ more stable than the Linux =
one. Of course, you may not notice any differences during your =
particular usage. I run a rather complex console multi-threaded =
application that used to crash the Linux JDK, whereas the native JDK =
never had any problems with it. Furthermore, I believe I had to turn =
/dev/random into a link to /dev/urandom for SSL handshaking to work on =
the Linux SDK.

Hi,=20

can you explain me (or redirect me to appropriate documentation) what=20
are advantages of building native jdk under FreeBSD (-stable) instead=20
of the using linux-jdk under linux compatibility mode?

Thank you.

Jozef.
