I went to the port /usr/ports/java/jdk12-beta ran [make install && make clean] nothing happened. Ran make and I got the message to download tar.gz files from Sun and the patches, then move the files to the /ports/distfiles directory, then run [make] which I did. All went well, no errors. Now I seem to have Java installed in the port. Won't that be overwritten next time the ports collection is upgraded? Also I don't seem to have java working, when I go to the website http://www.bushwatch.org/, mozilla stills trys to install the java plugin. Same with the BBC news website. What am I doing wrong here? thanks dale To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
