I am not an expert, but the only thing I _know_ of that requires Java is the OpenDocument input/output filters. If you can live without those, Java becomes a no-op. 2) version of Java In /usr/ports/java, you will find diablo-jdk15 and jdk15. _As I understand it_ the difference is diablo is the offical, certified-by-Sun version. Non-diablo is the same general code-base without Sun's blessing and works fine for OOo purposes. In fact, I believe it works better. As has been mentioned, issues were been discovered with diable-jdk15 soon after its release; jdk15 seems not to have those problems. Check with java@ for more information. 2a) The good news: having installed diablo, one can use it to build the non-diablo port. It'll take a while, even on a fast machine, but it will work. (Corrections to the above accepted.) Robert Huff
