I didn't try any linux 1.5/1.6 jdk, but perhaps you missed something
for your linux emulation? read man compat_linux, perhaps it helps.
the other options you have is having someone mail you the source on
cd, or use kaffe (don't know how useful it is for your purposes).
--knitti
Thanks for your response. Kaffe won't work for me as it is missing
a few feature s that I need (most notable swing support is not up
to snuff yet).
This is probably not what the poster meant. You really need to read
the FAQ:
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq8.html#Programming
What your are looking for is "Building the Sun JDK".
"The JDK requires a working Java 2 compiler as a bootstrap to build.
For this purpose, since OpenBSD 4.0, the port of JDK 1.5 uses kaffe,
which allows JDK 1.5 to be used on both i386 and amd64 platforms, and
reduces the build time considerably."
You only need kaffe to build SUN's JDK.
It's all in the FAQ (and probably in the archives).
@others: stop picking on SUN and Java. It's actually a nice language
and going to be GPL software very soon, so I guess there will be an
option for binary packages and other nice stuff soon.
regards,
Tobias
