Hi Thomas,

As Panagiotis Astithas pointed out, there already is a JDK 1.3 available on
FreeBSD. It's available as a port. First make sure your ports tree is up to
date. You can use CVSup for this. If you don't know how to do that, let me
know and I'll give you some simple instructions.

After that, download the Linux JDK version 1.3.0 from the following location:

   * http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download-linux.html

Move the file to /usr/ports/distfiles (as root):

   # mv j2sdk-1_3_0-linux.bin /usr/ports/distfiles/

Then execute as root:

   # cd /usr/ports/java/linux-jdk13
   # make install

You now have an installed Sun Linux JDK 1.3.0. But it will probably freeze
since HotSpot doesn't really like the Linuxulator. So you should modify the
jvm.cfg file. This is what it will contain after you downloaded it:

   # cat /usr/local/linux-jdk1.3.0/jre/lib/jvm.cfg | tail -4
   -client
   -hotspot
   -server
   -classic

Move the -classic option to the top:

   -classic
   -client
   -hotspot
   -server

When you try to run the JDK, you should set JAVA_HOME to
/usr/local/linux-jdk1.3.0. And perhaps, when executing Java programs, you may
want to increase the initial heap size from 1 MB to 2 MB using the following
command:

   $ java -Xms2048K <arguments>

And check out the following page:

   * http://www.kjkoster.org/java/

Good luck,

Ernst
