Thanks John for you clarification of the situation.

I noticed that the original purpose of the funding by FBSD Foundation
and the actual usage of the fund are inconsistent.

From: John Polstra <jdp@polstra.com>

Unfortunately, you could not have a chance to see my warning soon
after the announce.
The following is an extract from the attached mail:

| To: java@FreeBSD.ORG
| Date: Thu, 27 Dec 2001 15:08:51 +0900

| > The plan is to do this for 4.5, but the JDK must first pass the JCK to

|
| I'm doubtful whether any Java 2 SDK can pass the JCK
| (now called J2SE TCK?) until FreeBSD 4.5 is out.
|
| Even two years ago, the JCK contains about 2500 of VM
| tests and also 2500 of lang tests. Java 2 SDK forFreeBSD
| will take a certain period of time to pass the tests.

The original purpose of the funding, which is boosting the TCK work,
is inconsistent with the following announce by Greg:

| From: Greg Lewis <glewis@eyesbeyond.com>
| To: freebsd-java@FreeBSD.ORG
| Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2003 03:44:45 +1030
|
| Again, I would like to thank Alexey Zelkin who has single handedly been
| working on the 1.4 port.  I'd also like to thank the FreeBSD Foundation
| who have provided the funding to allow Alexey to continue his work.

This announce says that FBSD Foundation has provided the fund for the
porting work of JDK 1.4.1, which does not boost the TCK work at all.

Greg has been working hard on the TCK work throughout the year 2002.
He has been improved Classic VM of JDK 1.3.1 to get it passing the
TCK.  Alexey's current work is porting of HotSpot VM of JDK 1.4.X.
They are completely different activities.

Or, was the target of the TCK work changed into JDK 1.4.X?

As many of you know, 1.4.X for FreeBSD has just started working and
still immature and it will need much time to pass the TCK.  See the
case of 1.3.1.  FreeBSD's 1.4.X will take more time then 1.3.1.
Anyway, it's wasteful to abandon the work on 1.3.1.

> Both
> Greg and Nate agreed that Alexey would be a good person for the job.

I guess you mean the TCK work by `the job'.

I'm doubtful whether any Java 2 SDK can pass the JCK
(now called J2SE TCK?) until FreeBSD 4.5 is out.

Even two years ago, the JCK contains about 2500 of VM
tests and also 2500 of lang tests. Java 2 SDK forFreeBSD
will take a certain period of time to pass the tests.

Sun provided the JCK to the Blackdown Java-Linux porting
team in December 1998 or earlier and the team could
announce the availability of JDK 1.2 pre1 in March 1999.
The current situation of FreeBSD JDK may be better than it,
but the release of FBSD 4.5 is only a month away.

BTW, we'd appreciate all efforts on the release of a
binary of the JDK.
