I compiled Java 1.5 from ports on 8.0 (both on i386 and on amd64). > cd /usr/ports/java/jdk15/ > make install clean (Then follow directions about downloading tarballs and placing them in /usr/ports/distfiles/ .) Along the way to building this port, it automatically installed the compat-7 mentioned above, as well as the diablo JDK. When the install was all finished, I uninstalled the diablo JDK so that I'd have just my freshly-compiled JDK 1.5 installed. I'm sure building JDK 1.6 from ports is similar: > cd /usr/ports/java/jdk16/ > make install clean I prefer JDK 1.5 because it's simpler and has less dependencies, but that's just me.
