copy. This should have the following effects:
. Fix problems experienced by programmes that dynamically create their
own copy of the JVM and are linked against the system's zlib (e.g.,
eclipse).
. Reduce the potential for zlib based security problems affecting the
JDK.

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.
