I sent this to the list so you'll get an answer. My question was "which port should I use" and so far, it appears the answer is jdk15, but it appears it depends on diablo-jdk. You might take a look at: http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml But it appears that it only helps as long as your're using prior to FreeBSD 7. I believe these guys are telling me that if I'm running FreeBSD 7 (and I am), that I need to use jdk15 (but it appears that it installs/depends on diablo-jdk. Sorry for the second send, I didn't add questions email address...
