Use the one matching your architecture, by the wa= y you can use jre
if you want but I did the installation with jdk, after yo= u have
diablo installed you can install the native java port, you'll run in=
to problems if you try to install with old ports so first you need to
run p= ortversion -l "<" and then portupgrade -f old-port1
olport-port2 o= ld-portn ... --batch (setting the batch variable will
use the default answe= rs to ports installations so you don't have to
be waiting for the computer = to prompt for a response from you),
after this you can update the ports tre= e with portsnap fetch update
and run the same commands until you're sure yo= ur ports are current
and after this process you'll be able to install the n= ative java
port with no problems, this process might take a whole day depen= ding
on your hardware but is worth it.
You can wor= k just with diablo as it works very well and you'll have
less time spent in= the process.
you'll also need to place this files= under /usr/ports/disfiles
tzupdater-1_3_29-2010f= .zip
and you can find it here

If not mistaking I remember another file needed but during the inst=
allation the error will give you the link to download that file.

I hope this can help you better.
