    This has been the top RFE (request for enhancement) for months. In february I already posted on the RFE list:

    Why does the top RFE not even have a feedback / evaluation answer from SUN?

    What is the use of the whole RFE mechanism if the top RFE simply gets ignored?


    I find it very frustrating that SUN doesn't even give any feedback, but simply ignores the by far most requested RFE for Java.

    Very unfortunate for me, as while I am attached to FreeBSD, at the moment I develop Java full-time (though I'd prefer C++) and I need a decent Java implementation on my main platform.

    If I have to use the Linux version (together with the Linux tools, linux Netscape, Oracle) then I'm almost only using FreeBSD to emulate Linux. Then I might as well simply use Linux, sigh...
