Java na FreeBSD - volby

[mkes at ra.rockwell.com]

Pokud jste nekdo zapsan na mailing listu java at freebsd.org tak to asi vite, ale
pro ty ostatni, kteri navic nejsou zarytymi odpurci jazyka Java, se zde nabizi
moznost vykonat dobry skutek.

O co jde. Sun Microsystems coby hlavni tvurce a propagator jazyka Java dodava
implementaci JVM (Java Virtual Machine) pro Solaris, Windows a Mac. Linuxova
komunita nasla u Sunu porozumeni pro podporu vyvoje JVM pro Linux takze nekteri
lide od Sunu primo pracuji spolu s lidmi z Linuxove komunity na vyvoji.
FreeBSD se o neco podobneho zatim marne snazi a tak vyvoj novych verzi dost
zaostava. V praxi je to asi tak, ze se ceka na dokonceni verze pro Linux a ta je
nasledne portovana na FreeBSD, coz zpusobuje znacne zpozdeni.
Nedavno nekdo prisel na to, ze by se neexistence podpory FreeBSD ze strany Sunu
dala prezenovat jako bug na buglistu primo u Sunu. Vzhledem k tomu, ze ten
seznam je prioritni (uzivatale mohou hlasovat jak moc se jim ta, ktera chyba zda
byt aktualni) je mozne dostatecnym poctem hlasu ovlivnit prioritu daneho
problemu.
K tomu, aby clovek mohl hlasovat musi byt zaregistrovan coz predstavuje vyplneni
formulare na web serveru Sunu.

Pokud by tedy nekdo chtel podporit kolegy, kteri chteji provozovat a vyvijet
aplikace Javy na FreeBSD muze se zucastnit hlasovani. Navod jak a podrobnejsi
popis toho pro co hlasujete je dole.

Dik vsem, kteri se zucastni.

As head of the current FreeBSD/JDK porting development team (<A
HREF="http://www.freebsd.org/java">http://www.freebsd.org/java</A>),
it's been difficult to finish our JDK2 efforts due to lack of help from
Sun.  In order to try and make JDK2 on FreeBSD a reality, we are
lobbying Sun using a RFE (Request For Enhancement) on the Java Developer
network to demonstrate to them the number of people interested in seeing
FreeBSD as a supported Java platform.

Please click on the following URL, and add your votes to compel Sun into
allocating resources towards getting a native FreeBSD port of JDK2 (and
JDK3, etc...) finished.

This is good for open-source operating systems, and Java in general
since FreeBSD is a great server platform used by many of the major
internet portal sites (Yahoo, Hotmail), and would allow FreeBSD to
compete as a Java server platform directly with less 'open' systems such
as WinNT.

Thanks!
