freebsd-ports/java/jdk15/pkg-descr
Alexey Zelkin cfb6727090 Please welcome new participant of FreeBSD ports tree and Java ports
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

This is the latest JDK 1.5.0 patchset from the Java 2 FreeBSD porting
project. This port allows you to easily build a native JDK1.5.0 for FreeBSD.
Please note that due to the current Sun licensing policy the resulting binaries
can't be distributed and you are only permitted to use/hack it personally.
Due to the same reasons you have to manually fetch the source code and patchset
for FreeBSD.
