I have done very little 'technical' work on FreeBSD-Java. However, in my defense, I've been spending my time playing phone tag with Sun/WC/BSDi/OpenGroup, and other commercial companies and volunteer organizations trying to keep the ball rolling. This is *not* a strength of mine, but someone has to do it, and it just so happens that being in the US means it's much easier for me to do it. Things are happening, albeit slowly. The engineers I've been speaking with at Sun and BSDi have been very forthcoming, but the lawyers create so many hoops that we have to jump through that very little concrete help has been coming our way. But, if we give up jumping through the hoops we won't get anywhere. :( Patience grasshopper, all will come in it's own time. :) Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
