hi there,

i have not an amd64 yet, but i'm planning to have it soon.

i donno whether it's possible to use the linux-jdk14 to bootstrap and
compile a native jdk-1.4.2 on freebsd/amd64.

'cos javac on jdk15 default to -source 1.5 -target 1.5 while
jdk14 default to -source 1.3 -target 1.3.

also, the unavailability of java-plugins and javaws on jdk15 made me
think thrice to switch to amd64.

any recommendations are welcome, just to stay with freebsd:)
