<li><b>August 10, 2000:</b> On August 7th, 2000, the FreeBSD JDK team
was given access to Sun's JCK (Java Compatability Kit),
which will allow us to test and (hopefully!)
release a binary version using the current set of patches.
Unfortunately, we are unable (for legal reasons) to distribute a JDK
that hasn't been run against the JCK like we were able to with the
JDK1.1.* releases.
<P>Unfortunately, as told by Sun (we have no experience *yet*), running the
JCK against the port is a difficult and time-consuming process.
Hopefully it won't take us the 3 months that Sun expects it to take. :(
<P>Finally, there are still some issues regarind Motif that need to be
resolved before a full public release can be made. Sun is working on
that front, and we need to try contacting the OpenGroup to see if we can
get a special exception for Motif binary distributions to use in the JDK
release.
