I prefer to use native ports e not to use "linux modules". In that way I prefer to have the native jdk (or the diablo one) not the linux one. If posisble the jdk/jre could be an option (to chose with ou without any kind of jdk/jre that is available). But I don't know how to do this in the ports. The people that are doing the outstanding work to have a port of Openoffice in FreeBSD could consider this?
