If thats ok then cd /usr/port/java/jdk16 make Follow the instructions Also see http://www.freebsd.org/java/ 5.x has just been announce as no longer supported by ports though, although support wont be removed, just not updated and checked as changes are made. You will need a current jdk to compile it though and need to get the source files manually. To get a jdk to compile it I'd recommend installing the package from http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml Although you could install one of the linux-sun-jdk* ports if you prefer. you can pkg_delete the old jdk once you have the new one installed.
