I have built this and used it. Yes, but to get it, you have to agree to the Sun license, download the file from Sun, get patches from another site, install a certified Linux port of JDK to compile the source, and then maybe it will work. Once the FreeBSD port is certified, it can be distributed in binary form without all of the caveats of the port.
