. Many patches are now unnecessary as they are included in the new
patchset.
. The browser plugin and Java Web Start is enabled on i386 (there are
64 bit issues with both the plugin and Mozilla/Firefox which prevent
enabling it on amd64).
. Update the amount of disk space needed.
. Update the status of the port.
. Disable building the shared class data archive. This broke the build
on amd64 and appears to also be problematic on some i386 versions
(4.11 is broken at least). It will reappear in future, probably
initially on a limited set of FreeBSD versions and architectures
(6.0/i386 is reported to work).

Important changes since last patchset:
. jdk14 port is now JDK 1.4.2 based!
. JavaWS distributing with jdk
. Runway problem fixed (fork() is no more problem for java apps)
. Sound support updated
. IPv6 support overhauled
. Drag'n'Drop support fixed (require open-motif mods)
As for now there's no more outstanding issues with this port!
FreeBSD port is also got a important of changes:
. optimized setup is now default (to get debuging bins/libs use WITH_DEBUG)
. bootstrap jdk autodetection. If WITH_LINUX_BOOTSTRAP is not set, then
it checks all known to work JDKs installed. If nothing found, forces
to install of linux-sun-jdk14
. Because of above change there's no NATIVE_BOOTSTRAP option anymore. If
native jdk14 is installed, it will be used by default.
