The Java packages available from the FreeBSD Foundation are based on the same codebase as any other 1.5 JDK or JRE from Sun. The difference is that they are available as certified binary packages. See the original announcement for all the details: http://freebsdfoundation.org/press/20060405-PRrelease.shtml then consider donating to the Foundation to support ongoing and future porting and certification work for Java on FreeBSD.
