For JDK 6 it is openjdk6, it will work. Please proceed as described in the handbook. Don't use parallel make jobs, it will fail with openjdk. > Could you please help me out in installing Java -headless (X11) in FreeBsd? > Building headless is an art of its own, you have to ask the openjdk people, it is not supported through the FreeBSD port system at the moment, at least not for JDK6. Maybe it is easier to build headless with JDK 7. Please inform us if you find a solution for headless, I'm very interested. Greetings. -- Heiner Straußhelp
