Most > of my software components are made in Java (including HSQDB) Since I have experience with Java on FreeBSD, I will try to answer this question. Java works very well for me under FreeBSD; I have not had a single problem with Java on FreeBSD. To install java, you can either install a pre-compiled JDK (called diablo-jdk) or compile all the JDK sources from scratch using the ports system. If you compile yourself from ports, you can choose either JDK 1.5 or JDK 1.6 (there may even be newer and older JDK versions that work fine). I'm running JDK 1.5 compiled from source on both my servers, and have had no problems in my Java applications. The dependencies list for 1.6 is a bit more involved, but the compile/install process is so automated that you won't be bothered with the amount of work it takes to install a JDK. So, in a nutshell, Java is very well supported under FreeBSD and you should consider this to be a non-issue.
