running tomcat on freebsd

[kings fool]

Hi,

I am really not trying to start a war here but would
like to know the experiences of others running java &
tomcat on freebsd vs linux.

I have recently become a freebsd convert and am
convined it is superior to linux in most respects. 
However in the past I was involved in running tomcat
apps on linux and there were no linux-java issues.

I am now considering developing and running tomcat
apps on freebsd.  But looking at the activity on this
mailing list, it seems that it could be problematic
and time consuming, given the issues with Sun.  On
linux i just had to unzip the jdk, set CLASS_PATH and
JAVA_HOME and away I went.

I am just wondering if it is worth the time and
trouble and if there are constant stability issues to
contend with after you get the java and tomcat ports
installed and runnig.  And I am guessing that
upgrading jvms in the future would be a nightmare.

Does anyone have linux and freebsd java experience to
advise with?

Thanks.
