Last time I compiled Java you required a working Java enviroment before you were able to compile Sun's Java implementation. Might be handy to keep that in mind.

Unfortunately, as it's a Linux port of Sun's SCSL'd code base, it's also bound by the SCSL, so it's not open source ;( If you need CORBA in an open source VM like Kaffe, you could try using JacORB, a java ORB written in Java, open source, and available from JacORB.org cheers, dalibor topic ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Does freeBSD have CORBA specs and does it have J2sdk1.4.2 ?
The binary releases were version 1.3.1 not version 1.4.2. Sun recently changed the licensing terms and the FreeBSD Foundation, who signed them the lst time, balked. As a result Sun pulled the binary distro for 1.3.1 This whole mess is tied up with royalty payments to Sun. According to what is reported on the street, the Java 2 Standard Edition is supposed to be royalty free: http://www.developer.com/java/other/article.php/618111 I cannot find any statement on the Sun site as to what Scott claims in the article. Instead, the current Sun Community license, here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/scsl_5.0-license.txt has a spot for Royalty payments but no attachments anywhere specify what those payments are. I think what it boils down to is you have to e-mail Sun and tell them what your doing and then they tell you if you owe them royalties or not, and what license you use. Once you figure that out, you download the source for the JDK here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/source_license.html and compile it. The current FreeBSD Java project mainly works to make sure the Sun source can compile on FreeBSD, although the are working with Sun to try to get another current binary release available for download. I don't know about CORBA you will have to try it and see.
