License-restricted NetBSD/i386 JDK 1.5.0 now available (tarball and pkgsrc)

[Todd Vierling-3]

I have made JDK 1.5.0 available in binary form under the Sun Community
Source License binary redistribution terms.  This means that the
builds are not suitable for commercial use, though they should be
covered by the Research Use sublicense terms.

Tarballs are available via:

    http://www.duh.org/NetBSD/java2/

and I am adding the following packages to pkgsrc shortly:

    lang/scsl-jdk15
    lang/scsl-jre15

to provide pkgsrc-aware versions of this JDK build.  Currently I only
have builds against NetBSD/i386 2.0+, but I plan on adding more builds
(including 1.3.1 for NetBSD 1.6, the last release runnable on that
NetBSD version).

If someone out there has a speedy SPARC running NetBSD 2.x or 3.x and
would like to help out, I need a build environment to make
NetBSD/sparc JDK builds.  (Other platforms are not yet complete in the
BSD JDK patchsets, so I'm afraid those will have to wait for a while.)

i tried getting HSQL running today (on i386/2.1-stable). it seems to run
fine, but now and then a client which connects to the DBMS and hands
over some work (table select or whatever), it gets stuck. after a minute
or so the server answers. in the meanwhile the machine runs like a
charm. i used sun-jre15/sun-jdk15 for this.

any hints very appreciated as well as general reports on running java on
NetBSD.

(the guy installing an art gallery manegement system, which uses HSQL on
the i386 machine, said that it's up to the java implementation of NetBSD
that it runs crappy. don't believe him as i have a tomcat installation
running quite happily...)

Hm.  There are some threading peculiarities in NetBSD still, though I
haven't hit one like this yet.

32 *and* 64, preferably.  But at least one would do.  8-)

Where is the license?  'make show-license' (for the pkgsrc version)
doesn't work.

Did you update pkgsrc/licenses?  (Hint:  It's a brand new license file.  ;)

Ah -- I thought I did, but perhaps not.  Reworking....
