Hi, I want to install java and tomcat. After some time trying I could not install the JDK, I first tried to install diablo jdk 1.6. I go to /usr/ports/java/diablo-jdk1.6, turns out that I have to go through further step due to licensing, I do that step and go to http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml and choose: Diablo Caffe JDK 1.6.0-7 FreeBSD 7.x/i386 End-User 61M diablo-jdk-freebsd7.i386.1.6.0.07.02.tbz I read and accept the licensing terms, then I do pkg_add Diablo Caffe JDK 1.6.0-7 FreeBSD 7.x/i386 End-User 61M diablo-jdk-freebsd7.i386.1.6.0.07.02.tbz and the problem starts, it's requiring me to install javavmwrapper In install the respoective port then try again pkg_add Diablo Caffe JDK 1.6.0-7 FreeBSD 7.x/i386 End-User 61M diablo-jdk-freebsd7.i386.1.6.0.07.02.tbz and it turns out that I also need a different version of x libraries, for example, I'm required to install: xtrans-1.0.4 I go to sysinstall and I realize that because my version of FreeBSD is 7.3, but it already includes the newer versions of xtrans, I am currently downloading a previous version of FreeBSD (7.1) to see if it has the required previous version of xtrans, I am concerned because according to the literature diablo is supposed to be the maintained jdk for FreeBSD. And I realize that I am having to download version 7.1 when we are already on version 8.0 of FreeBSD to make java work My question is: is Java in FreeBSD an experimental/academic package? Should I rather go with the linux compatibility way? Am I doing things incorrectly? thank you herbey
