Dylan: Thanks for the clarification. I guess I will try to use the native port. Is there one included in FreeBSD 4.6 ?

The argument of stability probably is still in favor of the Linux JDK at the moment. But the native JDK is stable enough for most things and we always need more people using it for testing purposes.
