I think what the poster was really asking is the same question I've often asked: Why isn't the *SUN* JDK distribution a proper port? Note that sources are not necessary at all to make a port - they're just ONE way... I would like to see a port of Jeff Hsu's jdk in the ports collection, but I'm not willing to do it myself (I don't use java) so I can only hope... :) Jordan
