I figured out that cvsup will probably be the answer after sending this mail
yesterday evening. Thus, I tried to understand the handbook's appendix
concerning cvsup and read the man pages. As I understand it, I can constrain my
cvsup to ports-base and ports-java. (Fleeing to FreeBSD from a really unstable
Debian Sid distribution, I'm still seeking a compromise between latest
features and stability). I tried this and got some cvs-data.

But I did not find out how to continue. In the /usr/src there are only my
kernel sources. Do I somehow have to download the sources of the java port
before I can build a new jdk? And how do I do the built?

Thanks,
Chris
