You need a Java compiler to build the Java standard platform libraries =
(ie, java.*, javax.*, etc) needed by the JRE, but you can cross-compile =
those somewhere else (and/or run a precompiled Linux JRE via FreeBSD's =
Linux emulation) if needed to bootstrap a native Java toolchain from =
scratch.
