Excepting donations != producing results. I will be happy to donate $100 US dollars to their fund once they distribute a fully up-to-date version of JAVA, not some reworked, deprecated version, that is fully compatible with Firefox on FreeBSD. I believe the current version of Java is Version 6 Update 21. It simply goes counter to my basic business model to contribute any monetary assistance to any open ended project. -- Jerry ✌ freebsd.u...@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
