If that's all that's keeping from starting from scratch, don't
worry about java; it's not that bad.
Does anyone know if JDK1.5 is going to be supported by FreeBSD? I have some
JDK1.5 apps that I've written for Linux that I would like to run on
FreeBSD. I've been unsuccessful in getting JDK1.5 running through Linux
emulation too.
Alexey Zelkin just announced on [EMAIL PROTECTED] that he had succeeded
in porting JDK-1.5 to the extent that it is now self-hosting:

Public beta testing releases are expected in January.
