Yes, apparently folks have had alot of trouble with java.  Just
to give you a confidence boost, I very recently built jdk14 on
a 5.3-RELEASE machine *by the instructions*, and it built
without problems, and apps were able to find it afterwards.
If that's all that's keeping from starting from scratch, don't
worry about java; it's not that bad.
