I wouldn't say I prefer a single person to work on it. I was trying to get across that this one person is not only qualified to lead the charge on a Mac-native port, but is also available full time, which is what this project is going to need. I hope Landon and Emmanuel can get in touch with each other and discuss and coordinate. Also, I'm curious why OpenJDK wouldn't just start an "official" new project, a "MacOS-port" project, instead of relying on the BSD-port? The goal it to recreate (and surpass) what Apple did on its port, right? Not just hack up the BSD code so it can run on Mac OS? I want a fully native, integrated JDK for the Mac OS platform, and I'm willing to do it myself (metaphorically speaking, I'm not insane) if I have to in order to make this happen. Rob
