Word today from
Burek for Breakfast (the only real coder I know who still uses
LiveJourrnal!) that Java bad ass Brian Gardner has backported the OpenJDK 7 stuff to OpenJDK 6 for Free BSD. That means you can find a relatively complete open source Java SE 6 for Free BSD
here. Looks like Brian needs testers, so go tell him what's wrong. Thanks to Dalibor Topic, the brain behind Burek for Breakfast. Certainly seems like the OpenJDK is making friends around the world, even before it's done!
