The consensus is that the native Java ports will give you the best
stability and performance. The JDK-1.4.2 will do the best, but you're
going to have to manually get the sources from Sun, plus the required
bsd-patchfiles from eyesbeyond.com (Sun licensing restrictions mean
you can't download stuff automatically), then compile everything
yourself. That takes quite a time and needs something like 1.7Gb free
disk space available. It also requires a working copy of one of the
linux JDKs in order to bootstrap the build process.
An alternative is to install the Diablo JDK or JRE, which are
pre-compiled native code, but only Java 1.3.1 and they have to run in
FreeBSD 4.x compatability mode.

I think you meant:
% java -version
Kill the hung java process -- you'll probably need to 'kill -9' it.
Make sure you've got linprocfs mounted as instructed in
/usr/ports/java/linux-sun-jdk14/pkg-message, and try again.
Cheers,
Matthew
