Please do have a look at www.freebsd.org/ports/java.html
You will find all sorts of java development-kits and
applications that are supported by freebsd.
Especially the linux-jdk's run very stable.

If you prefer free java implementations, have a look at
kaffe or guavac. I haven't tried gcj - as part of the
gnu-compiler-collection gcc - yet.

The only disadvantage of freebsd as a java-platform seems to
me, that netscape-communicator-4.78 is the latest browser
that can display java-applets.
But perhaps one day someone will look after this.


Have fun!


Uli.
