From: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq8.html#Programming Due to Sun's restrictive SCSL license, OpenBSD cannot ship binary packages for the JDK < 1.7. Starting from 1.7 OpenBSD has a fully GPLv2 licensed port, that can be installed as a package. Users looking for the browser plugin will still need to build 1.5 or 1.6 from ports until Sun releases the plugin code. Note that you will need plenty of RAM for this build to succeed. -- Dennis Davis, BUCS, University of Bath, Bath, BA2 7AY, UK d.h.da...@bath.ac.uk Phone: +44 1225 386101
