java/jdk16 testing possible?

[Mark Evenson]

It looks like their is an imminent public release [1] of the start of a 
Java 6 port.

Any way I could get an (unsupported) download of the current ports 
files?  Last week, a project introduced an unexpected (and unwanted) 
dependency on Java 6 which is (obviously) unsupportable on my FreeBSD 
servers at the moment (my work is "research" and not production, so 
"just running" is often quite enough for my needs).

I would like to spend a little time with the provisional java6 port to 
see if I can plausibly use it by the end of August.  I would not take 
the private release of the ports files as a promise of support or 
timeliness in any manner.  I simply want to see if it would be at all 
plausible to use java/jdk16 in the near future on FreeBSD in its current 
state.  Or if I should break out the OpenSolaris DVD. . .

Thanks for any reply,
