The diablo jre is a java virtual machine, the jdk is the developer kit that provides the java compiler, modules, and other jazz needed for building and interpreting java source. Freemind is written in Java, hence it must be compiled by the java compiler, which is provided by the jdk. You can find the jdk ports at /usr/ports/java. There are a few choices, such as the sun jdk releases and the diablo jdk. I'm not sure what the difference is between the two, hopefully a FreeBSD Java sage can chime in.
