Could you please tell me the exact > location (for i386) of the jdk14 port on ftp.freebsd.org. I assume you mean: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/java/jdk14/ The only wat to FTP that from one of the FreeBSD servers is to grab the ports.tar.gz snapshot from: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports/ports.tar.gz which is a snapshot of the ports tree created on a daily basis. However, that's the *whole* ports tree (all 11,000 odd ports), and as the README.TXT file in that directory on the FTP sites says, using cvsup(1) to maintain an up to date copy of the ports tree is way more efficient. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html If however you're after a pre-compiled *package* of java/jdk14, then you're out of luck I'm afraid. Licensing restrictions (ie. the FreeBSD project not having an OEM License agreement with Sun to distribute J2SE 1.4.2 software) means that the only way to get hold of java/jdk14 is to sign up to the Sun Community Source License, download the source code and a whole pile of FreeBSD specific patches and compile the whole thing yourself. The java/jdk14 port will instruct you on exactly what to do, and take care of all of the details of compilation and installation.
