Java (w/out ports?)

[Jamie]

Are there any documents on the web some-place that explain how
to install java on freebsd, w/out the ports system?

Over on linux, I used to have /usr/local/jdk1.n and a symlink
to whichever JDK I was using. I kind of liked it that way, even
though it was kind of a pain to keep all the paths straight.

Haven't been able to figure out how to do this with FreeBSD,
any pointers to docs appreciated!
