[Sorry if you see this message twice, didn't see my mail on the list.] Hi, [Thread moved from [EMAIL PROTECTED]] Question: Is anyone familiar with IPv6-enabled Java for FreeBSD? Is it available or what's the status? Reply by [EMAIL PROTECTED]: >=> the only real problem with IPv6-enabled Java is the definition >of an IP address as an *int*. There is a comment suggesting a byte >array would be better but this is only a comment... > Old Sun Java sources had a very restricted copyright then I hacked >one of the first Kaffe (a free clone with java.net sources) in order >to get an IPv6-enabled Java. It worked but Kaffe was a bit buggy and >very slow (terrible garbage collector). > Today I think the best thing to do is to ask for a native IPv6 support >in standard Sun Java. Sun had a good IPv6 for years and it is supported >in Solaris 8 *officially*. A bit of market pressure with concrete >examples of how to do (ie. how to add IPv6 support in the current Java) >and what to do (ie. nice applications of an IPv6-enabled Java) should >be enough. /Mattias --------------------------------------------------------------------- The IPv6 Users Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe users" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
