Freebsd + openjdk 7 = problem?

[Paul Pathiakis]

You could try.

The issue become that OpenNMS also encountered problems with 
linux-sun-jdk17.  However, it was intermittent.  Sometimes OpenNMS would 
run for as long as a day before core'ing.

On various Linux platforms, no such issue.  So, I'm going to assume 
there might be a problem with a syscall somewhere in the translation.  
*shrug*

You may not have that problem and it could work fine.  As I said, 
OpenNMS is making big use of all the features in the JDKs as they advance.
