I am using the linux version of java under NetBSD/i386 and it works
fine. The only thing that doesn't work is the appletviewer (it hangs
after showing the window), but instead I use the linux version of
netscape 2.0 to run java applets.

I don't remember from where I got the linux java developers kit, but I
think I searched for it on www.altavista.digital.com or from
www.sun.com .

Of course, you must have linux emulation in your kernel and the
relevant shared libraries.

I would appreciate a NetBSD version, but since the linux version works
and I'm just playing around with java I'm too lazy to do anything
about it.
