On behalf of the BSD Java Porting team, I'm pleased to announce the
availability of Patchset 2 "Mestengo" for JDK 1.6, based on the
JDK 1.6.0 Update 2 JRL source code.

This patchset includes bug fixes and updates the code base to use the
1.6.0 Update 2 source code.  However, the most exciting part of this
patchset is that the browser plugin code now fully supports amd64.  This
is the first such support of any operating system that I'm aware of and
I'd like to specially thank Jung-uk Kim and Kurt Miller for their work
on this.

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)
	NetBSD 3.1/i386 (or later)

The patchset can be downloaded at:

An update for the java/jdk16 port will follow shortly.
