Yes, it was, I explicitely checked this.

All right, this sounds to me to take a further shot. Maybe JDK is on 
FBSD 6/AMD64 to new and just a 'job in progress'. I will try it again.

I just fetch the ports collection via cvsup and its brothers and 
sisters. On amd64-based hosts I very often see a set ARCH-variable and 
errors not being capable fetching tarballs due to be i386-tarballs. This 
seems to be especially for Linux files, where some '.amd64.xxx' type 
files are looked for.

I will try it again on i386 and amd64. Hope it will work then ...

Thank you for your answer,
