Important changes since last patchset:
. jdk14 port is now JDK 1.4.2 based!
. JavaWS distributing with jdk
. Runway problem fixed (fork() is no more problem for java apps)
. Sound support updated
. IPv6 support overhauled
. Drag'n'Drop support fixed (require open-motif mods)
As for now there's no more outstanding issues with this port!
FreeBSD port is also got a important of changes:
. optimized setup is now default (to get debuging bins/libs use WITH_DEBUG)
. bootstrap jdk autodetection. If WITH_LINUX_BOOTSTRAP is not set, then
it checks all known to work JDKs installed. If nothing found, forces
to install of linux-sun-jdk14
. Because of above change there's no NATIVE_BOOTSTRAP option anymore. If
native jdk14 is installed, it will be used by default.

. Use ${PTHREAD_LIBS} rather than -pthread or -lc_r.
. Install system preferences to avoid annoying and constant error messages.
Approved by: phantom (the update, anyway)

. Put the MD JNI headers in include/freebsd _not_ include/bsd. This
brings the 1.4 port in line with 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, and arguably inline
with Solaris and Linux.

for JDK 1.4.1. This is complete and close to production quality
native JDK with both working client and server native JVMs. Local micro
benchmarks shown very little difference between Linux and FreeBSD JVMs in
speed.
One of important points of this patchset that it marks point when we are
very close to passing of Sun TCK tests. Currently about 20 of >27000 tests
are known to be broken (tests were run at -STABLE). If testing of this
patchset will be smooth and founding of this work will be continued we
may expect to have binary distribution of JDK 1.4.1 in April or begining
of May.
BUT, don't forget that even TCK tests can't cover all possible problems
and this is -beta patchset. Keep your eyes open and report your problems
to freebsd-java mailing list or to me directly!
* About supported FreeBSD releases:
Altough 4.8-RELEASE will be first officially supported FreeBSD release,
you may use JDK 1.4.1-p3 at stock post-02-Feb-2003 -STABLE or -CURRENT.
You also may use it at post-07-Jan-2003 -STABLE and -CURRENT (including
5.0-RELEASE), but it's required to apply libc_r patch, distributed with
patchset3 archive, and rebuild libc_r first.
* About compiler:
This port is supposed to be built with stock FreeBSD compiler (3.2.[12]
for -CURRENT and 2.95.4 for -STABLE)!
* Following issues are known, but not yet addressed:
. IPv6 networking. IPv6 support is disabled in this patchset.
. Asian languages support. Patches are welcome!
. K6 (586-class) processors support. There're issues with building on
old K6 processors. If you've problems with 586-class machines other than
K6 - please let me know.
. Mozilla plugin is not yet ported.
* Following areas should be used with increased attention:
. Java Virtual Machine Profiling Interface (JVMPI)
. Java Virtual Machine Debugging Interface (JVMDI)
. Host Porting Interface (HPI)
If you have problems with these interfaces please let me know.
* THANKS!
I would thank very much to FreeBSD Foundation, without which support
and sponsorship JDK 1.4.1 port would not happen in such timeframes (less
than 2 months).
