( I've removed Greg from the CC - Please do not CC people directly - it is rude . The obvious exception is if you already have a thread going with them in after sending to the mailing list. Or if you know them personally ;) ) - I can safely assume Greg doesnt want extra copies of emails ;) The ports are part of the system, if you installed them - you can read the handbook ( handily available @ freebsd.org) to know more about the ports. if you want to go down the path of installing from source, simply do (as root , or use sudo / su ): cd /usr/ports/java/jdk15 make install The port will tell you what files you need to download (if you have any missing). If you want to save yourself time and troubles, just use a binary distribution like diablo-jdk: cd /usr/ports/java/diablo-jdk15 make install this will give you : [betom@ayiin] [Mon Aug 13 17:19:37 2007] /usr/home/betom $ java -version java version "1.5.0" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build diablo-1.5.0-b01) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build diablo-1.5.0_07-b01, mixed mode) Reply back to this thread if you have any problems/questions. good luck, B _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome "Either you are incompetent - or you are lying to me."
