And no non-free Java requirement

Last time I checked, Freenet still required a non-free Java implementation.

I don't know if there's been any work done to port it to the free Java implementations, but I see it's still not in Debian, and a quick web search turns up people saying they can't get it working on their distro. Pity.

Best of luck to the GNUnet devs!

I think that info is outdated. It is in Gentoo, I don't have Sun/Oracle JDK or JRE installed and if I do an emerge -pv freenet it doesnt attempt to install any of them.

Oh. That's good news. Thanks.

With another search, I've found someone else saying it gives a warning but it does work now with OpenJDK.
