I simply use the package for 7 with compatibility. I have no idea what is
going on with FreeBSD Foundation and why no new
packages for 8-RELEASE have been built. OpenJDK will partially free you. I
tried it too, but I recall correctly you cannot build
it without bootstrapping it with the Diablo the first time (subsequently, it
can be built with the old version of OpenJDK on each update - please correct
me if this is wrong).
However, I never succeeded in making any browser plugin for openjdk work.
If you have a problem with 'tzupdater', download the latest one from Sun's
site and alter the checksums in
/usr/ports/java/diablo-jdk16/distinfo with the correct checksums and size.
Hope this helps,
