I'd love to see more community development on porting work --  
including Mac OS X and BSD support (perhaps this is obvious, coming  
from me).

Speaking just for Mac OS, it still needs work on multiple fronts (via  
the OpenJDK Porting Group and FreeBSD Java Project):
	- Merging into OpenJDK (part of the larger BSD porting work).
	- Support for hotspot x86_32 16-byte stack alignment (vs. using - 
fstack-realign work-around)
	- x86_64 16-byte stack alignment fixes
	- Integration of PowerPC support? (gbenson's?)
	- Native AWT implementation

I'm not sure if this is something both Sun and the larger community  
are interested in =)
