From my limited experience I can say that FreeBSD 5.1 with Java 1.4.1 and
Tomcat 4.1.27 seems to work pretty well. Not real fast though. When threads
are done it should be really good. I've also used ant, eclipse, jboss,
Log4j and the other tools from the Jakarta project and they mostly
work. The only time I have had a problem it was from a mistake on my
part. Oh, jBoss and Eclipse are not from the Jakarta project but they
interface well.
