+October 14, 2000: Greg Lewis' native FreeBSD JDK 1.2.2 is now in beta +test stage and is now available in the ports directory (ports/java/jdk12-beta). +
While this is only for i386 architecture at the moment, this will allow anyone +running the i386 (most of you) the opportunity to build a native JDK2, and then +test them out against your favorite apps and custom code. If you use something +regularly, why not make a port of it? Instructions are availible at Porters Handbook. + +

If you want to try to build it by hand, due to SCSL concerns, you now have to go to +http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsddom/java/jdk.html +and agree to the SCSL before downloading. There is a mirror at +http://java2.freebsd.methodsystems.com/java/jdk.html +
