I am a little confused about the relationship between the various JDKs for FreeBSD. I understand that Sun has given the go ahead to FreeBSD last year to make a native JDK available. So now we have a port called "java/jdk13". (and other versions, but that is the one of interest to me right now). But I have a couple of questions: * why does the installer require manual agreement to the license at http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsddom/java/jdk13.html? * and then again to fetch the actual JDK from Sun's site? What was the effect of the agreement if in fact nothing at all is downloaded from FreeBSD but it is all coming from Sun anyway? See http://daily.daemonnews.org/view_story.php3?story_id=2602 And an even more important question. Why does the installation of "java/jdk13" depend on the port "linux-sun-jdk-1.3.1.07_1"? I can't find any answers in the web pages and in fact the pages seem quite contradictory. For example <http://www.freebsd.org/java/install.html>; says that no dependencies are needed to install the JDK. But when compiling the JDK I get this: ===> Applying FreeBSD patches for jdk-1.3.1p8_1 ===> jdk-1.3.1p8_1 depends on executable: gm4 - found ===> jdk-1.3.1p8_1 depends on executable: zip - found ===> jdk-1.3.1p8_1 depends on file: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so - found ===> jdk-1.3.1p8_1 depends on file: /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.3.1/bin/javac - not found This is all on FreeBSD 4.7.
