Hi all,

Patchset 5 for JDK 1.3.1 is up on the web site.  The main highlights are:

1. NetBSD support is included (Scott Bartram and Alistair Crooks).
2. The green threads subsystem is now very solid (Fuyuhiko Maruyama).
5. The native threads subsystem was redone and is closer to working 
   (Bill Huey).
3. Both threading subsystems can be built at once (Fuyuhiko Maruyama).
4. Various problems with external process were fixed (Fuyuhiko Maruyama 
   and Jay Sachs).

See THANKS and ChangeLog in the patchset for more information.

If you are a Chinese, Japanese or Korean user you should still also apply 
the Open Motif patch from http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=30421
and rebuild Open Motif before building the JDK.  This prevents a potential
memory fault when using XIM.  The patch will become unnecessary on your
platform once the Open Motif port/package has been updated.

I recommend people switch to using this version if they want to use a
native JDK 1.3.1.

I've sent in an update for the FreeBSD JDK 1.3.1 native port.  The
impatient can find it at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=31257
