I have patched the Maple startup scripts so that it uses FreeBSD's
native JRE (installed throught ports/java/jdk14) instead of the one
included with Maple (which appears to be very unstable on FreeBSD).  

I'm planning to write documentation on this and submit it to the FreeBSD
Doc-project, as the current documentation (section 10.4) only describes
installation of older versions of Maple (which didn't use a Java GUI).  

You can still use the CLI version (starting maple instead of xmaple), or
the older GUI version (with maple -cw).  They don't use any Java either.
