There is no source bundle downloadable from the FreeBSD Foundation. What
you can get is two different packaging formats. One suitable for pkg_add
and the other suitable for manual unpackaging or installation via the
diablo- ports. If you check the diablo-jdk15 Makefile you will see a
NO_BUILD=yes definition. It just extracts the tar file using cpio.
