how-to build native JDK15 in FreeBSD 7

[Rudy Rucker]

[HOW-TO]

The diablo-jdk15 port didn't work for me.  It used the FreeBSD6 build.

This method worked for me, so I grabbed the FreeBSD 5 version and 
installed it.  Then, from the port, I built a native jdk15.

Downlaod diablo-jdk-freebsd5.i386.1.5.0.07.01.tbz and then run these 
commands:

pkg_add -r compat5x
pkg_add diablo-jdk-freebsd5.i386.1.5.0.07.01.tbz

then build the native port:
  cd /usr/ports/java/jdk15 && make install

(You will manually have to download some files -- follow the instructions.)

(note, your kernel config needs FreeBSD 5 compat built into it... the 
generic FreeBSD 7 kernel has this.)
