Usually you don't manually download stuff from websites and then install them to FreeBSD. That's what the package installer "pkg" and the ports collection is intended for. The FreeBSD project maintains its own package repositories independent from those "Oracle" offers. :-) For FreeBSD, there are different JDKs and JREs. When I needed one, I simply installed "diablo-jdk" and "javavmwrapper" from the ports collection. You will find JAVA related tools in the "java" category, both native for FreeBSD and for Linux ABI. That said, you could try to use the Linux JRE... --=20 Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
