Both Linux and FreeBSD are quite able to run Jakarta.
Besides the need to make linux java prior to making native FreeBSD java, there is
little difference between running Jakarta in FreeBSD than running it in Linux.
You can consult with documents such as:
http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200203/tomcat-jakarta.html
for pointers on installing Jakarta in FreeBSD.
