I have no idea what is going on with FreeBSD Foundation and why no new packages for 8-RELEASE have been built. OpenJDK will partially free you. I tried it too, but I recall correctly you cannot build it without bootstrapping it with the Diablo the first time (subsequently, it can be built with the old version of OpenJDK on each update - please correct me if this is wrong). However, I never succeeded in making any browser plugin for openjdk work. If you have a problem with 'tzupdater', download the latest one from Sun's site and alter the checksums in /usr/ports/java/diablo-jdk16/distinfo with the correct checksums and size. Hope this helps, Regards, //T
