There are quite some jdk related ports in the ports tree. jdk13/ and jdk14/ in die portdir/java directory are for installing nativ built java developement kits(sun version). if you want use it via linux compatibilty there are the linux prebuildt from sun (linux-sun-jdk*). if you dont want to use sun's jdks, then there is also the blackdown projects's jdks (linux-blackdown-jdk*) and there are the ones from ibm (linux-ibm-jdk14). if you are unsure, i propose you to chose either jdk14/ or linux-sun-jdk14. greets, josef -- www: http://www.daemon.li nic-hdl: JER1080312-NICAT FreeBSD PortMaintainer "Make World - Not War!"
