Only the HotSpot part of the build is safe to parallelise, so mark the
port as MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE.
data for the JDK using Sun's tzupdater. [1]
. Some simplification of the convoluted logic around telling the user
which files to download. In particular, don't care if we've already
told them to download a file.
. Bump PORTREVISION since many North American users will need to pick up
the time zone changes.

. Add support for unrestricted policy files.
. Use bsd.gecko.mk for plugin support and limit it to Mozilla.
. Make portlint happier.

. Many patches are now unnecessary as they are included in the new
patchset.
. The browser plugin and Java Web Start is enabled on i386 (there are
64 bit issues with both the plugin and Mozilla/Firefox which prevent
enabling it on amd64).
. Update the amount of disk space needed.
. Update the status of the port.
. Disable building the shared class data archive. This broke the build
on amd64 and appears to also be problematic on some i386 versions
(4.11 is broken at least). It will reappear in future, probably
initially on a limited set of FreeBSD versions and architectures
(6.0/i386 is reported to work).

where only one charset-interface exists (jdk15 has two with the old one

family -- first public patchset of native Sun JDK 1.5.0 port.
Most valuable addition of this patchset is native amd64 support.
And special thanks goes to Daniel Seuffert <ds@freeBSD.org> for
making it possible by providing amd64 hardware.
This patchset was tested on following configurations: i386/4.10,
i386/5.3, amd64/5.3. 5.3-RELEASE support is quite strong and
shown no huge visible problems over last week.
But even mentioning above note, keep in mind -- THIS IS ALPHA
PATCHSET and suitable for testers/developers ONLY!
Known issues are including (but for sure not limited to):
. Browser plugin support is missing
. JVMTI, JDWP and JMX are not tested yet
. FreeBSD i386/4.10 support is suffering from hidden memory
allocation failres (ideas and patches are welcome)
NOTE ABOUT BOOTSTRAPING: It's possible to bootstrap jdk 1.5.0 using
jdk 1.4.2 (either native or linux one). There's no need to have
java/linux_jdk15 installed and working.
Supported by: FreeBSD Foundation
Important changes since last patchset:
. jdk14 port is now JDK 1.4.2 based!
. JavaWS distributing with jdk
. Runway problem fixed (fork() is no more problem for java apps)
. Sound support updated
. IPv6 support overhauled
. Drag'n'Drop support fixed (require open-motif mods)
As for now there's no more outstanding issues with this port!
FreeBSD port is also got a important of changes:
. optimized setup is now default (to get debuging bins/libs use WITH_DEBUG)
. bootstrap jdk autodetection. If WITH_LINUX_BOOTSTRAP is not set, then
it checks all known to work JDKs installed. If nothing found, forces
to install of linux-sun-jdk14
. Because of above change there's no NATIVE_BOOTSTRAP option anymore. If
native jdk14 is installed, it will be used by default.
. Use ${PTHREAD_LIBS} rather than -pthread or -lc_r.
. Install system preferences to avoid annoying and constant error messages.

for JDK 1.4.1. This is complete and close to production quality
native JDK with both working client and server native JVMs. Local micro
benchmarks shown very little difference between Linux and FreeBSD JVMs in
speed.
One of important points of this patchset that it marks point when we are
very close to passing of Sun TCK tests. Currently about 20 of >27000 tests
are known to be broken (tests were run at -STABLE). If testing of this
patchset will be smooth and founding of this work will be continued we
may expect to have binary distribution of JDK 1.4.1 in April or begining
of May.
BUT, don't forget that even TCK tests can't cover all possible problems
and this is -beta patchset. Keep your eyes open and report your problems
to freebsd-java mailing list or to me directly!
* About supported FreeBSD releases:
Altough 4.8-RELEASE will be first officially supported FreeBSD release,
you may use JDK 1.4.1-p3 at stock post-02-Feb-2003 -STABLE or -CURRENT.
You also may use it at post-07-Jan-2003 -STABLE and -CURRENT (including
5.0-RELEASE), but it's required to apply libc_r patch, distributed with
patchset3 archive, and rebuild libc_r first.
* About compiler:
This port is supposed to be built with stock FreeBSD compiler (3.2.[12]
for -CURRENT and 2.95.4 for -STABLE)!
* Following issues are known, but not yet addressed:
. IPv6 networking. IPv6 support is disabled in this patchset.
. Asian languages support. Patches are welcome!
. K6 (586-class) processors support. There're issues with building on
old K6 processors. If you've problems with 586-class machines other than
K6 - please let me know.
. Mozilla plugin is not yet ported.
* Following areas should be used with increased attention:
. Java Virtual Machine Profiling Interface (JVMPI)
. Java Virtual Machine Debugging Interface (JVMDI)
. Host Porting Interface (HPI)
If you have problems with these interfaces please let me know.
* THANKS!
I would thank very much to FreeBSD Foundation, without which support
and sponsorship JDK 1.4.1 port would not happen in such timeframes (less
than 2 months).
