Your best bet is probably java/jdk14 which is the native version of JDK 1.4.2. 
It will need to first install the linux-JDK though for bootstrapping 
purposes.

Choose the JDK you would like to install and do 'make install'. It's going to 
ask you to download files from Sun manually due to licensing restrictions.

Alright.  I tried, and after hours and hours of compiling...this:

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: Can't detect initial thread stack location
/usr/ports/java/jdk14/work/control/build/bsd-i586/gensrc/java/util/CurrencyData.java:1: 'class' or 'interface' expected

                                       ^
2 errors

Stop in /usr/ports/java/jdk14.


Any further thoughts?  I'm not sure what to do next because the error is not clear enough to me.

Thanks
