It seems that Sun is going to offer periodic snapshots of their next JDK 
source code. This could be an excellent opportunity for more closely 
aligning the FreeBSD JDK patchset release with the official one.

Provided volunteers donate their time, of course :-)

On another note, perhaps the distribution of JDK 5.0/6.0 patchsets 
should be subject to the new Java Research License? It seems more open 
source-friendly, not to mention shorter :-)

Distribution of diablo binaries shall remain a responsibility for the 
FreeBSD Foundation's legal negotiations, of course.


Cheers,
Panagiotis
