Hello!

I'm trying to use Java on a FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE computer, but unfortunately
only Kaffe 1.0.7 is installed (Java 1.1 support).  I've noticed that the
FreeBSD java ports page indicates that the JDK 1.4 port is supported on 4.8.
However, after reading BUILD I see that a working Java SDK 1.4.x is required
to bootstrap.

Any suggestions on making this work or where to start?

Thanks,
Mike
