Note that there is also diablo-jre15 in /usr/ports/java Now for native jdk15 you have the following options: i)=20 cd /usr/ports/java/jdk15 ; make install=20 # You compile everything from the java sources ii)=20 cd /usr/ports/java/diablo-jdk15 ; make install # You install the binary but thru the ports system iii)=20 pkg_add diablo-jdk-freebsd6.i386.1.5.0.07.01.tbz # You install the binary directly via the packages system # The above is for freebsd 6 > Taking the opportunity, I would like to suggest you to establish a port f= or > Sun Jave Runtime Environment (jre-1_5_0_09-linux-i586.bin).
