with Sun to  Allow Open Source Java Implementations]


BTW:
I just tested the Shared Source CLI (Rotor) from
Microsoft, it compiles, and the basic examples
do actually work.

As Sun has never made things
easy for Java developers under
FreeBSD, I guess they might learn something
from what MS is doing.

Here is some useful information:
http://www.microsoft.com/partner/products/microsoftnet/SharedSourceCsharpCLIFAQ.asp
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2002/03/27/archtour.html
http://msdn.microsoft.com/net/sscli

Of course I prefer Java but...
this might be an alternative
worth considering.

Regards,

Jorge
