To whom at Sun should expressions of displeasure be addressed? I'm hopeful things are looking up on the licensing front, so I'm not sure we need to express displeasure to them at the moment :). > P.P.S. Did the 1.2 port ever complete JCK testing? No. My fault, I got caught up in other projects and didn't get this done. I think motiviation for this will be much higher once licensing is finalised. > P.P.P.S. Does anyone have an approximate idea of when Hotspot would have a > native port? I believe HotSpot relies on native threads. The 1.3.1 is reasonably close to getting native threads, so work on HotSpot should start after that. I'm not about to commit volunteers to a timeline though, sorry. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Mobile: 0419 868 494 Information Technology Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
