java in 4.5?

[jo...@bigfoot.com]

Hi,

I saw the newsflash about having a licensed version of a JDK/JRE in
version 4.5. I (unwittingly, don't ask) installed 4.5-RC today, but I
don't see anything relating to java. Does anybody know how this is going
to work? Which version will it be? 1.1.8, or 1.3.1? Sorry if I'm
missing something obvious, but I've really scoured the web for news on
this matter and I've come up quite dry.

Thanks,

Mark

Java is in the ports. You have to install it.
/usr/posrts/java --> take a look there for your java stuff

Maybe you have to update your ports (cvsup is your friend).

Sun is dragging its heels in doing whatever it is they need to do to
get the FreeBSD port to jump through the Java compliance test hoops.
Until that is done we can't include it. Probably that means it won't
end up being in 4.5 :-(

I have to admit to being a bit confused about Java on FreeBSD also.
Konqueror, the browser in KDE, comes with no java support. You point it
to the java executeable manually. I've tried 1.1.8 and 1.3.1 JDK's, but
both of them perform poorly on the java test sites. A lot of apps don't
run at all.

Are these incomplete JDK's? You sound like you are up on this. As was
mentioned, there doesn't seem to be much on the web, etc about this.

I'm not sure this will help much; but I couldn't get
my Yahoo email to work well using Konqueror until I
activated both both Java and Javascript. When I
pointed Konqueror to the Java path, I used the jre
executable. Everything I normally use on the internet
generally works now; but I don't surf much.

I'm running FreeBSD 4.4 Stable and jre-1.1.8. (I think
this is the Linux port. It was installed prior to the
announcement regarding FreeBSD-native Java, in any
case).

Best of luck,

Andrew Gould
