Hi, I'm trying to install FreeBSD Java on my pair.com account (dedicated, not shared server) running FreeBSD 4.8 I visited http://www.freebsd.org/java/install.html but there are no instructions or links for where to download your port. I was specifically hoping to download the native JDK on FreeBSD, what is the download URL? I visited http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsddom/java/index.html, but there is no contact info, and again, no download URLs. I visited http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsddom/java/jdk15.html. It suggests I can download JDK 1.5 from Sun. When I go to the Sun site, there are many different JDK 1.5s to choose from! Which one do I use? JDK for Windows, Linux, Solaris, for x86 or x64? I tried downloading JDK 5.0 update 12 for linux on x86, so I have these two files now: jdk-1_5_0_12-linux-i586.bin bsd-jdk15-patches-current.tar.bz2 How can I tell if the patches work on this particular JDK? Will this get me the Native JDK or Sun JDK for Linux? thanks! - Steve
