Installing FreeBSD's &jdk; is typically straightforward:

-

cd /usr/ports/java/jdk -
make -
make install -
make clean -

+

When installing Java on FreeBSD you have the choice between +different Java Development Kits:

+
+

Native JDK on FreeBSD

+ +

This is the effort of the Java 2 FreeBSD porting project. +By the use of patchsets and the JDK source code released by sun, +this port builds a native JDK for FreeBSD.

+ +

cd /usr/ports/java/jdk14 +
make install clean +

+ +

Note:The JDK 1.4 patchset for BSD is currently considered of ALPHA quality. It should be considered a work in progress and use in a production environment is at your own risk.

+
+

Sun JDK for Linux

+ +

This port installs the Java 2 Developement Kit from Sun which was built for Linux. It will run under FreeBSD using the Linux compatibility.

+ +

cd /usr/ports/java/linux-sun-jdk14 +
make install clean +

+
+ +

IBM JDK for Linux

+ +

This is an implementation of the Java 2 Standard Edition SDK, +version 1.4 for Linux by IBM. It contains IBM's just-in-time +compiler, enhanced with a unique Mixed Mode Interpreter +and a re-engineered Java 2 virtual machine.

-

The JDK does not require any dependencies to install. However, if you wish to run any graphics, you will need to have X installed and running. +

cd /usr/ports/java/linux-ibm-jdk14 +
make install clean +

+
+ +

Blackdown JDK for Linux

+ +

Blackdown Java Developer Kit 1.4.1. It includes the HotSpot +Client and Server VMs, as well as an enhanced version of Java Web +Start 1.2, a Java Plug-In for browsers based on Mozilla and a +Java Plug-In for Netscape 4.x browsers.

+ +

cd /usr/ports/java/linux-blackdown-jdk14 +
make install clean +

+
-

Many applications in Java need Java Foundation Classes (Swing) to run. JFC can be installed in: /usr/ports/java/jfc +

Note: Please note that due to the current Sun licensing policy the resulting binaries +can not be distributed and you are only permitted to use/hack it personally. +Due to the same reasons you have to manually fetch the source code and patchset +for FreeBSD.
