I'm really aching to get the JDK installed on my machine.  I need it
for my job.  Unfortunately, I'm not running -current, so the port
doesn't work for me.

I have access to Motif libraries, but sadly the "port" isn't really
a "port" as far as the ports collection are concerned, but rather
a pre-compiled set of programs.  I'd like to get my hands on the
source code and patches applied to make these binaries.  Is the JDK
not distributed like that?  Do I have to sign a non-disclosure
agreement with Javasoft or something?

Who is responsible for the FreeBSD JDK port?

Thanks!
