any regressions in functionality that might have been missed. Biggest
news is that partial BSD support is now in the official source
distribution through the OS X port's inclusion.

the JDK build looks for them, but FreeBSD 9.x has them available in /usr/bin.
Adjusting the JDK check is a harder fix, this will get things building
again on 9.x quickly.

result turn it on by default again. This change bears a little more
explanation.
In UnixFileSystem.java there is a cache of canonical paths and in
particular one for paths inside java.home. The problem with looking
up time zone data is that if another path within java.home has been
looked up then the symlink for the time zone data is not resolved
(since the cache assumes there are no symlinks in java.home) and we fail
to be able to open the ZoneInfoMapping file.
One of the other features in UnixFileSystem is that the cache is not
consulted and full resolution occurs for paths containing "." or "..".
I've chosen to (ab)use this to force resolution of the time zone data
directory in ZoneInfoFile.java rather than doing something like IcedTea
did which was to introduce a tz.properties file where they would stash
the time zone info directory rather than symlinking it in. For full
reference that patch is here:
http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea6/file/tip/patches/use-system-tzdata.patch
There are two main reasons I chose a bit of a hack rather than something
like this.
1. I want to apply the patch to non-GPL'ed code (e.g. the jdk16 port).
2. Using updated time zone data is only an option in the port and using
something like tz.properties when the option is off is clunky.

IcedTea fix.
the JDK/JRE ports. This will make keeping up to date with new timezone
data easier and prevent all the JDK/JRE ports needing to be updated
regularly whenever a new TZUpdater is released by Oracle.

An incremental Java compiler. Implemented as an Eclipse builder, it is based on
technology evolved from VisualAge for Java compiler. In particular, it allows to
run and debug code which still contains unresolved errors.
