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).
