<!-- Simple schema for FreeBSD Java Project news.

|
|
Divide time in to <year>, <month>, and <day> elements, each of which
|
|
has a <name>.
|
|
|
|
Each <day> element contains one or more <event> elements.
|
|
|
|
Each <event> contains an optional <title>, and then a <p>. <p> elements
|
|
can contain <a> anchors.
|
|
|
|
Use the <title> element if the <p> content is lengthy. When generating
|
|
synopses of this information (e.g., for syndication using RDF files),
|
|
the contents of <title> will be preferred over <p>.

<title>FreeBSD Foundation announces license agreement with
|
|
Sun Microsystems</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>This was posted to announce@FreeBSD.org:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The FreeBSD Foundation has secured a license from Sun
|
|
Microsystems to distribute a native FreeBSD version of
|
|
both the Java Development Kit (&jdk;) and the Java Runtime
|
|
Environment (JRE). Thanks to the great efforts of the
|
|
FreeBSD Java team, these should be available for inclusion
|
|
with the upcoming release of FreeBSD 4.5 in January,
|
|
2002.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The general availability of a distributable version of
|
|
Java will benefit end users, commercial users, and
|
|
developers who use FreeBSD. Java continues to grow in
|
|
popularity and has become heavily used in server side web
|
|
applications, one of FreeBSD's core areas of strength.
|
|
With an officially licensed binary Java distribution,
|
|
FreeBSD becomes an ideal platform for execution,
|
|
development, and deployment of Java based solutions.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This agreement would not have been possible without the
|
|
efforts of <a href="mailto:nate@FreeBSD.org">Nate
|
|
Williams</a>. Nate not only started the FreeBSD Java
|
|
porting effort, but also brought Sun Microsystems and the
|
|
Foundation together to negotiate a license.</p>

<title>Sun Java Compatibility Kit Testing</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>On August 7th, 2000, the FreeBSD &jdk; team was given
|
|
access to Sun's JCK (Java Compatibility 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 &jdk; 1.1.* releases.</p>
|
|
|
|
<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>
|
|
|
|
<p>Finally, there are still some issues regarding 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.</p>

<title>Native &jdk; 1.2.2 port enters alpha test
|
|
phase</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>Greg Lewis has just announced that the native FreeBSD
|
|
&jdk; 1.2.2 port has entered alpha test stage.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In its current form, the port will build and run on most
|
|
FreeBSD releases (3.4, 4.0 and 5.0 on x86) and work is
|
|
being done on the others (2.2.8 on x86 and 4.0 alpha).
|
|
Most demo applets and applications run.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Currently we are looking for enthusiasts who are willing
|
|
to spend a little time testing the new port. While this
|
|
is not a trivial task, there are clear step-by-step
|
|
instructions on how to build and use the port.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The patches may be found, as usual on:</p>

<title>Pre-Alpha &jdk; 1.2.2 patches available.</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>Greg Lewis releases the pre-alpha patches for
|
|
enterprising Java users to build their own native FreeBSD
|
|
&jdk; 1.2.2 from. This process is not for the faint
|
|
of heart, and the resulting &jdk; is not for production
|
|
systems. Having said that, most AWT and Swing demo's have
|
|
been found to run. There is plenty of work to do, and we
|
|
need all the testers we can find. Patches and build
|
|
instructions may be downloaded from <a

<title>Blackdown 1.2.2RC4 &jdk;</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Linux Blackdown Port Team has released RC4 of
|
|
&jdk; 1.2. It has been tested on FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE
|
|
and later and runs all demo applets and jfc demos.
|
|
Several people have mentioned some problems running it
|
|
with Apache JServ. Until it can be added to the FreeBSD
|
|
port tree, it can be found at <a

<title>Patch for UDP sockets</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>A small bug was found in the &jdk; 1.1.8 release
|
|
which affected people using UDP sockets. If you tried to
|
|
send a packet to the broadcast address, the FreeBSD &jdk;
|
|
refused with a permissions error. This error was fixed,
|
|
and rather than re-releasing the entire release a small
|
|
patchset was re-rolled for those folks who are
|
|
experiencing this problem. If you experience this
|
|
problem, feel free to download the gzipped tarfile and
|
|
untar it wherever you installed the jdk. It will install
|
|
itself over top of the old version. If you aren't
|
|
experiencing the bug, there is no need to apply the patch,
|
|
although it wouldn't hurt.</p>

<title>JDK2 status</title>

|
|
<p>Work on &jdk; 1.2/JDK2 has been going very slow as
|
|
the development team has been focusing it's effort on
|
|
solid JDK1 releases. For most JDK2 development issues,

you can use the JDK1 release and the <a

|
href="http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/index.html#download-swing">Swing</a>
|
|
releases provided by Sun for JDK1, which works very well

<title>Updates on current development</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>ELF &jdk; 1.1.7 : An ELF build of &jdk; 1.1.7
|
|
(for use on FreeBSD 3.x and later) is currently entering
|
|
it's initial internal testing phase. A beta release
|
|
should be available in a few weeks.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>JDK2 (aka &jdk; 1.2): Several individuals are
|
|
working on porting JDK2 to FreeBSD, but the work is
|
|
progressing slowly. This is primarily due to a lack of
|
|
developer time to work on this project. (The release of
|
|
Blackdown's JDK2 port will assist our development when
|
|
they release their source diffs.)</p>

bugs in the &jdk;, notably the modulo bug. This release

also has the 256 file-descriptor limit bumped up to 2048.
