I was running Tomcat under OpenJDK6 on FreeBSD 8.0/amd64, but
experienced numerous difficulties with PDF generation using the iText
library. The same setup running on a Linux system worked OK, and
swapping OpenJDK out for Diablo also resolved the problems, so I
wonder if there is still some things missing from the OpenJDK port
that are included with Diablo...?
