That's nice, but didn't my mail note that Sun's JDK 1.4 implementation in general doesn't reliably "run anywhere", and that there is not much in the way of viable non-Sun alternatives yet? This response pretty much brushes me, and many others, under the rug, assuming that Sun's "write once, run anywhere" promise includes the latest-and-greatest JVM features Right Now. You apparently ignored the substantial majority of my mail, which attempted to address working around the issue. I suppose that means I'll have to hang up my hat and access Freenet in the future from one of the publicly accessible https:// tunnels, until JDK 1.4 actually has market saturation levels of stability. (Running an old build forever won't work for the obvious reason that the minimum build version gets bumped periodically. I might as well give up now and spare myself the headache later.) Does anyone know of a published (or unpublished, or even on Freenet itself) list of public https-fproxy and/or SSL-FCP tunnels? I'd like to continue contributing to Freenet's future, even as an "outsider".... Please make sure to Cc: me directly on any response, as I'm unsubscribing at this point. -- -- Todd Vierling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
