Is there any documentation about enviroment changes | (paths,symbols,load paths) needed to make Java work? Hi Dave, I think your best bet is to install the java/javavmwrapper (http://www.freshports.org/java/javavmwrapper/) port. That script configures the proper Java environment variables for you and allows you to switch between JVMs, if you have more than one.
