Well, if you stop supporting 1.1.8 then you will remove FreeBSD from the list of platforms that you support.
the only licensed binary for FreeBSD is 1.1.8 note that there is a functioning version of 1.3.1 for FreeBSD 4.5, but it's not *licensed* yet, so it has to be built from src and the src has to be obtained from sun each time ( so that the license get's clicked ) and the patches have to be obtained from somewhere else and you have to install the linux 1.3.1 binary to build it, so that means that you have to install the linux emulation/compat stuff...blah, blah, blah. it's not an impossible process, but it's a pretty major barrier to entry. :-( so i would ask you to continue to support 1.1.8 unless it's just too painful. tnx! johnu On Fri, 5 Apr 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Time to pick this topic up: should we still keep 1.1.8 compatibility, when > JDK 1.4 is coming out? > > To keep such compatibility > - We can't use new functionality provided by new JDK's (for example, > collection interfaces); and > - We have to sacrifice performance.
