Try the following:
Download a copy of the jdk from ftp.freebsd.org. It is a file named
"jdk1.1.7.V98-11-5.tar.gz".
Make sure you are logged on as root.
Execute the commands:
cd /usr/local
tar -xvzf {download directory}/jdk1.1.7.V98-11-5.tar.gz
Change your .cshrc file to include the following references to the JDK
setenv CLASSPATH .:/usr/local/jdk1.1.7/classes:/usr/local/lib/netscape
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/local/jdk1.1.7/lib/i386:/usr/local/qt/lib:/usr/lesstif/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/pgsql/lib
(If you don't use csh, make equivalent changes to classpath and ld_library
path in the .login file)
You should now be able to compile classes with commands such as:
javac Yourclass.java
and run them with:
java Yourclass
Good luck!
