FW: Sun revokes FreeBSD license for Java

For those interested in adding Generics capability
to Java 1.4 or 1.3, the trick is to download the prototype
from here:

   http://java.sun.com/developer/earlyAccess/adding_generics/

In that prototype are two Jars, one each for the compiler
and the JVM.  They need to be added to the classpath
for each phase.  Read the bat files for invocation magic.

The product is some sort of experimentat prototype,
and lacks any semblance of support, and may not be
the full Generics that turns up in 1.5. It's probably
not much use unless you are planning to intercept
1.5 and go production under that environment.  Or
you just want to play around and see if Generics does
any good.

FY!
