Thanks for the advice Warren! I ended up doing the following: * Giving the VM 512 MB of RAM. I also tried with 256, but I got the same "out of swap space" error. * cd /usr/ports/java/jdk15 && make clean * make # wait 4 or 5 hours for this package alone :) * make install * make clean * make distclean This finally worked for me I didn't get any other errors. >> 1.

It's now clear to me that jdk15 does work on 8. Thanks again Warren! Tom Purl
