Ok, I got jdk13 installed from the ports, this is what I did
I first got rid of other versions of jdk as suggested by Simon, that didnt
work. Then I had a look at the Makefile and noticed this line
JDK13DIR= ${LOCALBASE}/linux-blackdown-jdk${JDK_VERSION}
so I installed linux-blackdown-jdk13 from ports and then tried to install
jdk13, again it did not work.
This time I had a better read of the makefile and decided to try changing
MAKE_ENV= ALT_BOOTDIR="${JDK13DIR}" \
to read the path of my linux jdk folder, it appears that without specifying
otherwise, it looks in /usr/local/java which doesnt exist ( at least not on
my system )
so I changed that line in the Makefile to read
MAKE_ENV= ALT_BOOTDIR="/usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.3.1" \
and finally, it compiled without any further errors.
I then created a symlink to from the plugin to the mozilla directory and I now
have java on mozilla.
Thanks to all those that helped
Hope this helps someone else
