Well, Alex Boisvert has just made a port for JDK 1.1.2, which is in
beta at the moment and is currently available for use at:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/jdk1.1.2-fbsd1.tgz.good
and he's planning to release the diffs probably after Christmas. If you're
in a hurry, there's always kwhite's port for JDK 1.1-Final (ie 1.1.0)
at:
http://www.csi.uottawa.ca/~kwhite/javaport.html
If you're interested in making a port to JDK 1.1.5, remember to post
your progress about your effort here. I'm sure you'll be able to get
several other people to help you with it.
Cheers.
