Thanks Andrew, but foundation website is NOT a central repository. You need
to go to 3 places, 

To sun for the DST update, to the foundation for the source and here
http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsddom/java/jdk16.html for the patchset.

So I am trying to build Java on FreeBSD 7.0. I need to REGSITER to download
the Timezone Java patch.

After registering Sun complains that they don't like my ID and I need to
provide more information. I create another account. Same problem. After 3
months I finally get an email saying they want clarification on the acronym
for my company. (no access yet to download Java patch.)



This sucks man. Is there one central repository where we can get all the
components required to build Java on FreeBSD?
