  • August 10, 2000: 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. + +

    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. :( + +

    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. + +
