This means that you don't need a FreeBSD port for Hibernate, Struts, Tomcat etc, just download and run it. As for a DB connection, you need a JDBC driver for your database. For MySQL this is MySQL Connector/J (http://www.mysql.com/products/connector/j/), for PostgreSQL the PostgreSQL JDBC Driver (http://jdbc.postgresql.org/). Also there are a number of embedded databases which you might find useful for prototyping applications, like Derby and HSQLDB. Instead of Hibernate you might want to look at the Java Persistence API (which Hibernate is an implementation of). For web development you basically need to install the Web Developer Tools plugin in eclipse, which allows you to create dynamic web applications in no time. Hope this helps. Pieter de Goeje
