This doesn't show any trace of diablo-jre at all. Are you sure you 
installed it?

Assuming that you actually have diablo installed, you also have to have 
an updated ports tree in order for javavmwrapper to correctly pick 
diablo as the default jdk. At least ports/Mk/bsd.java.mk has to be 
updated to the latest version.

Just pkg_add the diablo package and you should be set. Later you can 
remove the jdk14 port if you want.

No, it shouldn't.
