Although the Linux port of the JDK seems better. At least when you use
a 16bpp color depth (like I do). I run Linux's JDK under the Linux
emulator and it seems to run fine (but I've only run some demo's with it.)
The FreeBSD native JDK shows warnings all the time related to memory
management (I think about free() ). I don't know how serious that is.
