( I've removed Greg from the CC - Please do not CC people directly - it is rude . The obvious exception is if you already have a thread going with them in after sending to the mailing list. Or if you know them personally ;) ) - I can safely assume Greg doesnt want extra copies of emails ;)
The ports are part of the system, if you installed them - you can read the handbook ( handily available @ freebsd.org) to know more about the ports.
if you want to go down the path of installing from source, simply do (as root , or use sudo / su ):
cd /usr/ports/java/jdk15
make install
The port will tell you what files you need to download (if you have any missing).
If you want to save yourself time and troubles, just use a binary distribution like diablo-jdk:
cd /usr/ports/java/diablo-jdk15
make install
this will give you :
