-<p>Working on the &jdk; port requires a firm grasp of C, the FreeBSD architecture, and a lot of time to spare.  The changes that need to be made in the code have to do with how FreeBSD differs from Solaris™, so if you don't know these, you will not go very far in the port.  We have
-had many people say they are willing to help, but when they see what is involved, they drop away.</p>
-<p>Having been dutifully warned, here is what you need to do to get involved:</p>
-<ol>
-<li><b>Obtain a license from Sun for the source code</b></li>
-<li><ul>
-<li><b>For JDK 1.1.x</b> You will need to obtain a "Non-Commercial License"  This is done at <a href="http://www.javasoft.com/nav/business/source_form.html">http://www.javasoft.com/nav/business/source_form.html</a></li>
-<li><b>For Java 2</b> You will need to agree to and sign the "Community Source License"  This is done at <a href="http://jsecom4.sun.com:80/servlet/EComActionServlet/ECom.WelcomePageInfo;$sessionid$">the Sun Download Center</a></li>
-</ul></li>
-<li><b>Download the source code</b></li>

-<li><b>For JDK 1.1.x</b> Instructions will be provided to you by Sun.</li>
-<li><b>For Java 2</b> You may download the source code from <a href="http://www.sun.com/software/java2/download.html">http://www.sun.com/software/java2/download.html</a></li>

-<h3>AND/OR</h3></li>
-<li><b>Obtain source code "diffs"</b> Notify Nate Williams <a href="mailto:nate at yogotech.com">nate at yogotech.com</a> that you have the license and arrange to gain access to the CVS tree.

 <p>The absolute best thing you can do is download the <a href="dists/">latest release</a>, install it, and try all your favorite Java applications.  If they don't work, see below.</p>
