I have been trying to say something useful about the Java Open Source announcement from Sun, but I keep running into the fact that I’d actually have to read the announcements before opening my mouth, and that simply has not happened.
So, let me simply say that I hope this eventually leads to having the JDK available in the FreeBSD package/ports collection, so one may install it from a package without having to download the source from one place and the patches from another and then spend the better part of a full day compiling your own JDK. Of course there are the Diablo JDK builds at the FreeBSD Foundation, but do those satisfy the dependencies of Java-based apps in the ports collection?
On another note, I have recently found some time to work on the documentation for the mod_ftp module. I’m transforming the documentation donated by Covalent into the format and layout used by the httpd documentation.
