The diablo-* ports are the binary, pre-compiled versions of the JDK, and
require a download from the FreeBSD Foundation website.

The non-diablo-* ports are the source ports, and require a working JDK to be
installed, in order to compile the port.

Go with the diablo version first.  If you need a more current version, then
that can be used to compile the newer (non-diablo) port.
