Multiple versions of Sun's JDK is available in the java/ directory of =
the
Ports Collection.  The FreeBSD Java Project, which is responsible for
porting Java to FreeBSD can be found at http://www.freebsd.org/java/.

MySQL runs very well on FreeBSD.  Multiple MySQL server and client =
versions
are available in databases/ directory of the Ports Collection.  There is =
no
authoritative site for MySQL on FreeBSD to my knowledge, but =
installation is
very straight forward.

SMP with FreeBSD is extremely stable with both 5.x and 6.x.  Both =
schedulers
are good choices in the latest 5.x and 6.x, but I would recommend using =
the
4BSD scheduler over the ULE scheduler in a production environment.

There is an implementation of LinuxThreads available for FreeBSD.  You =
can
get it by installing the devel/linuxthreads port.  The MySQL ports have
options to let you build them with linuxthreads support.
