    Hey,

    I'm giving some serious thought in to moving most of my machines from
    Linux to some variant of BSD. I've heard that support for Java is very
    broken under NetBSD due to licencing issues from Sun (appreciate this is
    not a fault of the project).

    How big a problem am I likely to face in trying to use Java (both
    compiling and running) under NetBSD. Platforms would be i386 and alpha,
    but I would presume this is immaterial.

    If anyone has any good resources (asides from the obvious
    manuals and documents of the project itself) I'd welcome some links.

    Thanks kindly,
    Dave
