Building JDK14

[Jorn Argelo]

I've got a Celeron 2.88 GHz with 256 MB PC2700 DDR RAM, 7200 RPM 40 GB disk, 
so my hardware is quite all right :-)

Though I am quite surprised that I can still browse, use GAIM, use XMMS and 
reading my mail all the time without any form of lag. If I got a 100% CPU 
load on my other Windows box then I can hardly do anything anymore. 

Another reason why I love FreeBSD :-)

Cheers,

Jorn
