Hello Elvis,
If you can install /usr/ports/java/jdk13 , but you will have to
manually download the source files, see the Makefile. Then you can
install /usr/ports/www/mozilla and the Java SDK toolkit will be
configured with it. You can also install plugger to get some extra
plugin functionality. I believe thats in /usr/ports/www/.
