Please help.
I looked here and it appears that both jdk and jvm are not supported
in freebsd 5.3

http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java-errata.shtml

I do not have linux emulation nor am I skilled enough to emulate
linux, install linux jvm/jdk, build natively, and then remove linux
emulation from my OS.

I have googled for how to's such as freebsddiary.org, etc, but any
real how to's for a simpleton like myself are scarce....
it looks as though this hasn't made it into the 5.x branch yet.....

YIKES....any advice/pointers/help?
Thanks!!!
