hi Dale,
these msgs simply tell you that the binary pkg you are installing has certain
dependencies which you HAVE installed, but with a newer version. it isn't an
error.... or are you suggesting the package does NOT get installed after this ?

if I understand this correctly, you therefore HAVE java installed in your
system - can you please confirm by running:

pkg_info | grep -i java

java -version

If that comes back with the right info, then it seems it is an issue with your
browser not loading the java plugin. What browser are you using?
