In my efforts to set up Jenkins in the FreeBSD cluster, I found two problems with Java on FreeBSD. See: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Jenkins (1) Item #10, issue with JDK on FreeBSD 10 (workaround available) (2) Item #23 issue with JDK on FreeBSD 9.2 (fix available in FreeBSD 9.2-p3) My advice to you is to see if you can propose going with FreeBSD 9.2-p3, until Item #10 is fixed. I hate to say it, but it doesn't really look good for defending your continued use of FreeBSD for a Java app. :( -- Craig
