Step 0: make sure that your ports collection is up to
date (you may need to use cvsup)
Step 1: pkgdb -F
Step 2: portsdb -Ufu
Step 3: cd /usr/ports/java/jdk14 && make install clean

native jdk on freebsd is stable (1.4.2). been using it
to run tomcat and jboss on a medium-traffic website.
the sun-linux jdk is somewhat unstable. i hope this
helps.
