Hi, yes there are several options in /usr/ports/editors It's a huge compile, though, needs something like 3GB of hard drive and takes a while. Installing as a package is another option. You also, IIRC, have to jump through Sun's java licensing hoops while installing. This involves (if you use the port - I've never installed as a package) waiting for the make install to fail with a message, going to Sun's website following instructions in that message, agreeing to their license, downloading a file to /usr/ports/distfiles and then repeating the process until complete: there are three or four files to download from Sun. As was recently observed on this list, be very careful to get the right file from Sun. There are several available at every stage and they have similar names.
