Posted by simoniker on from the latest-and-greatest-revisited dept.

ap writes "Justin T. Gibbs, of the FreeBSD Foundation, announced today the availability of a native binary release of the Java JDK 1.3.1 for FreeBSD. He also mentioned that more attention will now be focused on providing a release of the 1.4.x JDK. Such developments should allow for FreeBSD to be better suited for enterprise uses."

    such binary releases of virtual machines would much easier if the FreeBSD development would decide to fully embrace a microkernel architecture for FreeBSD.

    Despite popular belief, a defibrillators doesn't raise the dead.
    A defibrillator only helps people with acute ventricular fibrillation and keeps them from dying.

    I am glad for BSD folks, but SUN released 1.3.1 at may 2001. Which such lag no serious java developer would consider FreeBSD as suitable platform for java apps.
