it's in the ports. This means that you should make sure your ports tree
is up-to-date with cvsup, and then:

    # cd /usr/ports/java/jdk14
    # make
    <Follow instructions>

You may have to do the previous command a couple of times, but once the
build completes, you can then do a:

    # make install clean

At which point, I suggest you then remove the linux-jdk, linuxalator ports
which may have been installed as well.

Cheers.
