Overall the amount of documentation and descriptive information should be improved. Some specific ideas follow.

The javavmwrapper tool is powerful, but probably not well-known. Describe the tool in a simple manner and make it available in an official easy to find places. This so that people know how to use the various JDKs that are installed without using aliases or modifying PATH. Same for describing where to find and how to use installed JAR files (see PR/56928).

Review http://www.freebsd.org/java/ and suggest improvements. A lot of information over there is probably highly outdated and there may be quite a few dead links.

Elaborate on why one should prefer running Java on FreeBSD instead of Linux or Solaris.

• Ernst de Haan - znerd@FreeBSD.org

Status:

• In progress, an e-mail has been sent to the freebsd-java mailing list and various people have provided valuable input. The information will need to be combined and added to the page WhyJavaOnFreeBSD.

Provide up-to-date information on the status of the JavaSE 5 port, the expectencies regarding the JavaSE 6 port. Detail the characteristics of the ports, such as stability, security and performance compared to other platforms.

Have an official Java benchmark in the ports tree, so people can easily test performance on their own machine.
