FYI: Mustang is what is to become JDK 1.6, and it's development is open (for all intents and purposes one can view it as open, it's at least a lot more open than we are accustomed from Sun in the past). Wouldn't it be cool to have 1.6 support DragonFlyBSD out-of-the-box? Look around on http://mustang.dev.java.net/ The license is a bit draconian for my taste, but it's better than absolutely nothing at all. :) Cheers, Emiel -- Things past redress and now with me past care. -- William Shakespeare, "Richard II"
