On behalf of the BSD Java Porting team, I'm pleased to announce the
availability of Patchset 1 "Brumby" for JDK 1.6, based on the
JDK 1.6.0 JRL source code.

As usual with the first patchset for a release, this patchset may be a
little rough around the edges.  Its considered beta and shouldn't be used
in a production environment.  Having said that, it feels more solid than
the first patchsets for previous JDK releases and should generally work
fairly well.

A special note of thanks to Kurt Miller for getting HotSpot running so
smoothly for this release.

The following platforms are supported by this release:

        FreeBSD 6.2/i386 (or later)
        FreeBSD 6.2/amd64 (or later)
        OpenBSD 4.0/i386 (or later)
	OpenBSD 4.0/amd64 (or later)

The patchset can be downloaded at:

Please download and test the jdk16 port framework from

http://people.freebsd.org/~glewis/jdk16.tgz

This port will be committed following a short feedback period for testing.
