Java on FreeBSD 5.0

[Aristedes Maniatis]

It is a little complicated right now and the web site documentation is 
very meagre. But the general gist is:

1. install the linux_base port
2. install the linux_jdk port
3. install the FreeBSD JDK which will require you to manually download 
the JDK from Sun and then manually download the patchset from  
http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsddom/java/jdk14.html.

You need to install the linux JDK first, because is is required to 
build the FreeBSD JDK from source. Even though 
http://www.freebsd.org/java/newsflash.html says that the native JDK 
will be available in January 2002 it doesn't appear that this is yet 
available.
