Hi, I use FreeBSD 8-STABLE with openjdk6 for java development and I haven't experienced issues to perform my work: maven runs smoothly (personally I use tomcat and jetty plugins instead of the available ports), I also tried grails without problems, even eclipse works ok (fortunately I don't need to install eclipse plugins as root as I did a year ago). I also have a debian workstation, almost a replica of my freebsd system (openjdk, maven, grails) and both of them behave the same way. For pure server side development I think is as good platform as any other linux, for desktop applications I cannot provide more details, I can run netbeans 7 but I can't use intellij. Best.
