<b>January 24, 2007:</b> <a href="mailto:glewis@FreeBSD.org">Greg
Lewis</a> has released the fourth patchset (patchlevel 4, "Sumatran")
for the &jdk;&nbsp;1.5.0 software. This release builds with GCC 4
and includes a number of bug fixes. Information on downloading the
patchset can be found at

<b>April 7, 2006:</b> <a href="mailto:glewis@FreeBSD.org">Greg
Lewis</a> has released the third patchset (patchlevel 3, "Siberian")
for the &jdk;&nbsp;1.5.0 software. This release should be suitable for
most applications, as most of the changes since the last patchset are
changes which were backported from the binary release source base to
make it JCK compliant. In addition, Java Web Start now works and a
problem with the zlib library which caused Eclipse to crash has been fixed.
However, use in a production environment is at your own risk, as always.

release as it is now stable on FreeBSD 4.x and has support for
Java Web Start and the Java browser plugin (Mozilla and Firefox).
Support for recent releases of FreeBSD on both the i386 and amd64 architectures

<b>April 7, 2005:</b> The java/jdk15 port has been updated so that it
builds on FreeBSD 4.11/i386. Unfortunately there are still serious
run time issues on this platform.
