I understand that availability of a JDK 1.2 on BSD is blocked by Sun's
"Community License". Essentially, while there is access to the source
(unlike 1.1) you have to sign a licen$e to be able to distribute binaries.

The L*nux camp got a special deal.

See Sun's Java Bug Parade database -- Number One change request by far (got
a few thousand votes) is a JDK 1.2 for *BSD.

BSDI may be able to do something for FreeBSD here; supposedly {Net,Open}BSD
will be left out in the cold.
